You already know that the Obama regime HATES small businesses in America, and would love to see them destroyed by high taxes and over-regulation.
But did you know that the Obama regime is implementing a new regulation that would be the KISS OF DEATH for many thousands of small businesses... by FORCING them to open their doors to Obama's Big Union buddies, or face legal action against them?
THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS -- once again, Barack Hussein Obama is paying off his union friends for their work on his election campaign, by doing everything he can to shove their unions down the throats of small businessesacross America. HE MUST BE STOPPED!

Over the past two and a half years, American businesses -- both small and large -- have dealt with an onslaughtof new mandates, regulations and taxes. The Obama regime's National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) piled onanother rule in August when it announced that employers must display 11 by 17 inch signs outlining the 76-year-old National Labor Relations Act. This needless requirement -- which falls OUTSIDE the NLRB's statutory authority -- opens the door for legal action by the NLRB against companies that don't comply.
This new rule is further evidence that the Obama regime puts the interests of union bosses ahead of individual workers. We already saw this pattern of behavior on full display when the NLRB filed anbaseless and punishing complaint against Boeing for wanting to move a plant from one State to another. Our federal agencies should work WITH American companies to reduce the regulatory burdens that inhibit growth -- they should NOT enact NONSENSICAL rules that add unnecessary costs!
Thankfully, something IS being done to STOP one of these foolhardy rules in its tracks: Rep. Ben Quayle (R-AZ) has introduced HR 2833, the "Employee Workplace Freedom Act," which would REVERSE the new ruling by the NLRB.
Rep. Quayle's bill is short and simple -- exactly like bills in Congress SHOULD be. It simply reads:
(a) Repeal- The final rule (including any supplement or revision to such rule) published by the National Labor Relations Board in the Federal Register on August 30, 2011 (76 Fed. Reg. 54006 et seq.), is repealed.Everyone knows that the NLRB's latest action is a virtual payoff to the Obama Regime's union allies to encourage unionization, as the sign they are mandating be posted utterly fails to recognize workers' rights against forced unionization in right-to-work states, and workers' "Beck" rights in non-right-to-work states.
(b) Rules Requiring NLRA Notices Prohibited- The National Labor Relations Board shall not promulgate or enforce any rule that requires employers to post notices relating to the National Labor Relations Act (29 U.S.C. 151 et seq.) on or after the date of enactment of this section.
The new rule is also blatantly illegal. In the absence of an election petition or a finding of an unfair labor practice, the NLRB lacks the legal authority to require employers to post such a notice!
This is yet another unacceptable overreach from a board of unelected bureaucrats that must be reined in. But these bureaucrats WON'T STOP -- unless YOU AND I STOP THEM!

Remember in April, when Obama's NLRB filed suit against Boeing? They accused Boeing of "violating labor laws" by opening a new production line for its 787 airplane in right-to-work South Carolina. The board said Boeing was "punishing" unionized Washington state workers for past strikes -- so they decided to TELL Boeing where they HAD to build their new factory!
In a decision that even the New York Times described as "highly unusual for the federal government," Lafe Solomon, who was appointed to the board by Barack Obama, filed a complaint on behalf of the NLRB seeking to force Boeing to build an assembly line in Washington state instead of South Carolina. The NLRB action stemmed from Boeing's October 2009 decision to build a new factory for its new 787 Dreamliner airplane near Charleston, S.C. Boeing first sought to build the new plant near its existing facility in Puget Sound, but negotiations with the International Association of Machinists broke down when the union refused to agree to a long-term no-strike clause. The IAM had struck four times since 1989, costing Boeing at least $1.8 billion in revenue.
As reported by the Washington Examiner, "That's when Boeing chose South Carolina, a right-to-work state where, unlike Washington, workers are not forced to join unions. As a result of this policy, only 6.2 percent of South Carolinians belong to unions. Construction of Boeing's new Charleston factory is nearly complete, and the company has already hired more than 1,000 new employees, drawn mostly from within the immediate region. And back in Washington, Boeing has actually increased employment at its Puget Sound plant by 2,000 workers. But that isn't good enough for the IAM or the Obama White House. After suffering major defeats in Wisconsin and Ohio, the labor movement is looking for a scalp. Obama's NLRB is trying to turn Boeing into one."
Of course, Boeing was simply making an economic decision to not only save the company money, but to bring thousands of new jobs to another State. Businesses ought to be able to set up operations wherever they think it's best for their success. They ought to be able to make those decisions without a body like the NLRB being able to come in and disrupt that. (By the way -- the Supreme Court has long held that firms may consider the economic effect of strikes when making business decisions!)
The NLRB, to put it simply, overstepped its bounds -- NO agency should have the right to dictate where a company can or cannot create jobs!
Along the same lines, the NLRB has no right to FORCE small businesses to comply with a ridiculous new order that is OBVIOUSLY political payback to Obama's union cronies. The new rule is very plainly illegal -- but it WILL be implemented, unless YOU AND I force Congress to stop it NOW!

With a Republican-controlled House, Barack Obama has realized that his pro-big-union agenda is dead in Congress. But it looks like his appointees are determined to impose it by regulatory fiat -- no matter WHAT the damage to investment and job creation will obviously result from his policies. THAT'S WHY THE OBAMA REGIMEMUST BE STOPPED. We've made it EASY to make your voice heard LOUD AND CLEAR on this issue -- please take action NOW!

P.S. We CAN win this fight -- already, as a result of Rep. Quayle's push to reverse their new notice-posting rule, the National Labor Relations Board postponed the implementation date for the rule until January 31, 2012 (it was originally scheduled to begin on November 14th). The Board claimed that the delay was to "allow for enhanced education and outreach to employers, particularly those who operate small and medium sized businesses" -- but it's obvious that they're starting to feel the heat from outraged Americans about their insane policies.
That means we have to PUSH even HARDER, to make sure this new rule never sees the light of day. PLEASE, take action RIGHT AWAY to DEMAND that Congress PASS the "Employee Workplace Freedom Act" -- Thank you!
