UNIONS HATE THE THOUGHT OF A 'RIGHT TO WORK' WITHOUT UNION MEMBERSHIP

RIGHT TO WORK COMMITTEE

Dear Conservatives,

I have an urgent update on the Right to Work reforms in Wisconsin and Ohio.

The good news is, the fight for worker freedom is spreading.

On Thursday, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and I will testify on "State and Municipal Debt: Tough Choices Ahead" before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform in Washington, D.C.

Thanks to concerned citizens like you, Wisconsin and Ohio have already passed government-sector Right to Work laws and other pro-taxpayer reforms to take back control of state government from the union hierarchy.

Not only that, forced-unionism states like New Hampshire and Missouri are considering Right to Work laws to guarantee the freedom of both private-sector and government workers.

The bad news is, the fight isn't over in either Wisconsin or Ohio.

In Wisconsin, union lawyers and their allies launched a legal assault against Governor Walker's bill, but they were dealt a crucial blow last week.

Wisconsin voters rejected Big Labor-backed State Supreme Court candidate JoAnne Kloppenburg, who appeared to prejudge the legal merits and hinted that she would overturn the law.

But worker freedom advocates must remain vigilant as the union bosses plot recall campaigns against Wisconsin Senate Republicans who supported Governor Walker's bill.

Meanwhile, in Ohio, Big Labor has initiated a referendum campaign to repeal the recently-passed Senate Bill 5, which like the Wisconsin bill, limits government-sector union monopoly bargaining power.

As other states debate the role of monopoly bargaining in state and local government, it's worth remembering that just five short months ago, the dedicated action of Right to Work supporters killed Harry Reid's "lame duck" attempt to impose a monopoly bargaining mandate by federal fiat.

Now, the union bosses are scrambling to protect their government-granted special privileges.

And as we saw in Wisconsin, they'll do anything -- even shut down the schools -- to protect their power.

That's why your continued support is critical. Please chip in with a contribution of $10 or more today so we can keep the heat on Big Labor.

Sincerely,

Mark Mix
