LAWLESSNESS AND IGNORING U.S. CONSTITUTION MUST STOP NOW!

Dear Conservatives,

A final showdown is set for next month at the U.S. Supreme Court over Barack Obama's illegal "recess" appointments to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).

Earlier this year, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia relied on arguments made by National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys when it ruled the "recess" appointments were unconstitutional.

Now, Foundation staff attorneys have filed an amicus brief with the High Court for Jeanette Geary, a Rhode Island nurse.

You see, in Geary's case, the rogue Obama NLRB blatantly IGNORED the Supreme Court's Foundation-won 1988 Beck decision, which states that union bosses cannot force workers in non-Right to Work states to pay for union lobbying or political activities.

But the stakes are even higher than just the enforcement of these protections for independent-minded workers.

The separation of powers that serve as the bedrock of our constitutional republic are in jeopardy.


Article II of the Constitution requires the President to obtain the advice and consent of the U.S. Senate for appointments to most critical positions in the executive branch.

But when Congress is "recessed" -- not in session -- the President may fill vacancies to ensure the continued functioning of government.

There is just one problem with President Obama's NLRB appointments: Congress was still in session!

And because the appointments were unconstitutional, the NLRB lacked the three-member quorum it needed to rule on cases.

If the Supreme Court agrees, that means EVERY power grab rammed through the Obama Labor Board over that time is null and void.

Once the Supreme Court rules, your Foundation must be prepared to keep up the fight -- and be ready to re-litigate any null and void cases.

Whether or not the Court hands Obama another setback in his quest to completely remake American labor law, the Foundation must also stand up for independent-minded workers against more power grabs by Obama's new NLRB that is fully-stocked with forced-unionism partisans.

That's why I hope you'll consider chipping in with a tax-deductible contribution of $10 or more today.

A week after the Court considers the "recess" appointments, Foundation staff attorneys will be back for oral argument challenging an Illinois scheme aimed at forcing in-home care providers into dues-paying ranks.

Thank you for your continued support making all this work possible.

Sincerely,

Mark Mix
