Dear Conservatives,
Barack Obama fears you.
Even more, he fears you joining up with other like-minded citizens to oppose his agenda to remake American labor law and expand union-boss power over workers and the entire economy.
Don't believe me?
Just look at what Vice President Joe Biden said about us when Obama sent him to speak to a crowd of United Auto Workers (UAW) union operatives.
"I never thought I'd be back refighting after all this time in my career the wave of Right to Work efforts," Biden said, citing the National Right to Work Committee's recent success passing Right to Work laws in Michigan and Indiana.
So now they have a plan to shut you up.
As you know, the Obama Administration hasn't been shy about ramming union-boss power grabs through the federal bureaucracy, especially the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
Now, they're trying that backhanded strategy at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
You see, the Obama IRS has announced a proposal designed to cripple grassroots lobbying organizations like your National Right to Work Committee.
The proposed regulation would target us for IRS harassment for making public communications within 60 days of a general election (or 30 days of a primary election) that simply mention a candidate's name.
And the deadline to stop these regulations is three days away.
You and I can bring these IRS regulations to a complete halt but it’s critical we act IMMEDIATELY.
Otherwise, I will be forced to cut off all communication with you in the weeks prior to the elections.
And that’s exactly what Obama, Big Labor and the IRS want.
You see, poll after poll shows that nearly 80 percent of Americans agree with the Right to Work principle that no worker should be compelled to join or pay dues to a labor organization just to get or keep a job.
That's why we believe the voters have the right to know whether their candidates for office stand with them – or with Big Labor.
In months before Election Day, your Committee conducts a Candidate Survey Program to find out where the candidates for office stand on critical questions related to forced unionism, including whether they:
*** Support the National Right to Work Act, a one-page bill that simply repeals the provisions of
federal labor law that empower union bosses to have independent-minded workers fired;
*** Oppose Big Labor's Card Check Forced Unionism Bill, which would eliminate workers' right to a
secret-ballot election in unionization campaigns and expose them to vicious card check campaigns;
*** Oppose the Police/Firefighter Monopoly Bargaining Bill, legislation designed to force every local
first responder under Big Labor's thumb by federal fiat.
But if the Obama IRS gets its way, simply notifying Americans
which
candidates are for and which are against the union bosses' radical
agenda will expose us to IRS harassment, including threats of audits and
even jail
time. So here’s what I need you to do:
First, please click here to go to the IRS comments page.
Second, add your comments to the tens of thousands who have already voiced their opposition to these infringing regulations.
And if you need help on what to say, please feel free to copy the text below:
These regulations would strip citizens’ right to send organized communication within weeks of an election and prohibit identifying a candidate or political party who supports Obama’s pro-forced unionism agenda.
I urge the Federal Government to drop Regulation IR-2013-92 and its unconstitutional restrictions on citizen organizations, and to cease using tax laws to suppress political speech.
Please do not wait.
With the comments period coming to a close, I cannot stress how vital your immediate action is needed.
I know the harassment and intimidation other groups have already felt at the hands of the Obama IRS are going to be nothing compared to what's in store for us.
You see, going back decades, Big Labor bureaucrats have conspired to regulate your Committee out of existence -- demanding time and again even the names and personal information of Right to Work supporters.
The past Committee President Reed Larson and I have always stayed strong, refusing to cave in to the federal government's radical demands.
So now they're trying to impose a new scheme to put a muzzle on you and me.
And there simply is no bigger prize for Big Labor than bringing your National Right to Work Committee to its knees, whether they do the job through the IRS, FEC, Department of Labor, or other piece of the biased Obama bureaucracy.
Make no mistake; this scheme is about keeping voters like you in the dark about politicians' pro-forced unionism voting records and positions.
And unless you and I act IMMEDIATELY, this plan could come to fruition.
So please click here to make your voice heard and demand the IRS drop these infringing regulations.
I hope you act right away.
Sincerely,
Mark Mix
