STOP LIBERALS FROM RUINING THE U.S. SENATE! STOP HARRY REID!

Dear Conservatives,

Barack Obama is seething with anger after concerned citizens like you won the first battle in his war to pack the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Last week, thanks to your pressure, the Senate voted not to cut off debate on the first of Obama's three nominees to the nation's second most powerful court.

And just as I predicted, it didn't take long for Big Labor's pet politicians to call for blowing up the whole system.

Round two of this fight is going to happen as soon as the Senate returns this week, according to sources in the Capitol.

This time union-label Senator Patrick Leahy predicts there will "be almost insurmountable" pressure on the Senate to pull the so-called "nuclear option", breaking the rules to do away with the filibuster.


Make no mistake, this is all about Barack Obama seeking revenge against the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals for rebuking his unconstitutional "recess" appointments to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).

The worst may be yet to come from his radical NLRB -- and the last thing Obama wants is an independent court that will check the Obama Administration's power.

But we can't forget what -- or who -- got us into this position.

It was just a few months ago that Republican Senators John McCain and Lamar Alexander cut a deal with Harry Reid the last time he threatened to pull the so-called "nuclear option" and gut the filibuster.

You see, Harry Reid didn't pay a political price the last time he made these threats.

Reid, Obama, and Big Labor got exactly what they wanted: A fully-stocked NLRB that will rubber-stamp everything on Big Labor's wish list.

We can't let them do to the courts what they've done to the federal bureaucracy.

First the Executive Branch. Then the courts.

If they get away with it, next time they'll try to end minority rights in the Senate for good by gutting the filibuster for all legislation.

Over and over again since our founding, the National Right to Work Committee and our members have used the Senate filibuster to keep Big Labor from stealing even more destructive monopoly power.

One by one, Big Labor and their pet politicians will bring back the power grabs that would have been law but for the filibuster:

*** The Card Check Forced Unionism Bill, which would eliminate secret-ballot elections in union organizing campaigns;

*** The Police and Firefighter Monopoly Bargaining Bill that could force union monopoly bargaining on state and local police and firefighters;

*** Repeal of Section 14(b) of the Taft-Hartley Act, wiping out all state Right to Work laws at once.

That's why we can't afford another "deal".

It's an encouraging sign that Reid lost the first vote in Obama's court-packing scheme.

But he hasn't yet twisted the arms of his fellow Senators like he did over the summer.

That's why it's absolutely critical you authorize your Free Action Fax urging your U.S. Senators to oppose Barack Obama's court-packing scheme.

As you'll see, these petitions urge your Senators to filibuster these judicial nominees and fight back against any threats Harry Reid may make to gut the filibuster for judicial nominations.

Fortunately, judicial nominations are still subject to the Senate's consent.

The constitutional separation of powers cannot survive long if a President -- any President -- is allowed to go on a court-packing binge any time he doesn't like one of the Court's decisions.

That's especially true in this case, where the Court rebuked the President for attempting to usurp the power of the United States Senate.

So please click here to authorize your Free Action Fax urging your Senators to oppose Obama's court-packing scheme.

And after you do, please chip in with a contribution of $10 or more to help us turn up the heat.

Some of the most crucial checks on Barack Obama's power are at stake.

We can't let the courts become a rubber-stamp for the Obama bureaucracy's sweetheart deals for Big Labor.

And with union bosses already scheming for the mid-term elections to take over the U.S. House, there's nothing they want more than to gut the filibuster and pave the way to ram through one power grab after another.

Urge your Senators to protect the Constitutional checks and balances. Please authorize your Free Action Fax without delay.

Sincerely,

Mark Mix

P.S. Harry Reid just railroaded radical union lawyer Richard Griffin to be the next General Counsel of the Obama Labor Board, and sources say that in the next few days he’s going to try to ram through Barack Obama's scheme to pack the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.

This is blatant revenge for the D.C. Circuit's decision rebuking Obama for making unconstitutional "recess" appointments to the NLRB.
