Meet Bill - You Don't Want To
In two weeks millions of Americans will enter the privacy of a voting booth and cast their ballots. You know who won’t be in there with them? This guy:
Desperate to find new members and collect new union dues, labor unions have hatched a scheme known as the "Employee Free Choice Act", or Card Check. They want to take away workers' ability to choose whether to join a union through secret ballot elections - where workers decide confidentially and in private. Instead, union bosses (Bill) want to force workers to publicly sign union authorization cards. Union organizers (Bill) could approach workers anywhere to ask them to sign, even at home at night. Once a majority of workers at a facility have been "persuaded" (Bill) to sign these cards, the union is certified and can start taking union dues out of their paychecks.
We believe that the decision to form a union, or not, should be made in the privacy of a voting booth, learn more about Card Check at the Workforce Freedom Initiative, and let your representatives know that you value your secret ballot. And you can let them know on November 4th too, Bill won't be in there with you...yet.

I could not agree with you more. As a former CWA member for 21 years, we were pressured to vote for Democrats and liberal causes while dues were rising faster than the benefits. The union brass created a good ol boy click and spent money on themselves like they were rock stars. The primary reason our U.S. auto industry has one foot in the grave, unions!

These comments reflect desperation and lack of knowledge. Why don't you people actually speak with a "dues paying" union member that enjoys his union membership. National surveys reflect that will be 9 out of every 10 union members.
This country was built by union members and the "good old days" everyone yearns for (1945-1965) was when unions were at their peak. You don't have to worry about CEO greed when a union contract is in effect because everyone covered by the contract makes a decent wage.

I don't believe the majority of Obama supporters could possibly support him if they actually understood the consequences if his proposals and policies were implemented.
If they think their liberty has been compromised under Bush they will be in for the biggest surprise of their life if Obama is elected as president.
Not only their liberty but their pocketbook will be hit so hard they won't have a penny to their name. The entire economy will collapse if his health care,climate change, and taxing the "rich" proposals alone are made into law.
Certain thoughts will be hate crimes. Abortions will skyrocket. Homosexuals will gain additional special rights. Taxes will increase to be sent to Africa and fund a greater portion of the corrupt United Nations. The courts will be stacked with leftwing radicals who will legislate from the bench according to Obamamaniac ideology. Our enemies will attack us with a vengence knowing Obama has no desire to stop them.
For those of us living during the Carter administration who were lucky to survive, the thought of Obama as president makes us shudder because his proposals are those of Carter's only ten times most costly.
America will rue the day they elected a corrupt Socialist as our president.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODMOOOOOOOOOOOOORNINGAMERICA
We have 14 days to save our Country. Think on this.
We are not going to be able to prevent the Democrats dominating The House of Representatives AND The Senate after this election.. If Obama takes The White House then our beloved Country will be controlled by a Three-Headed-Monster – imagine it – OBAMA-REID-PELOSI. We will lose the checks and balances that are so essential to our political well-being. The good ol' USA will become an ELECTIVE DICTATORSHIP.
Barack Obama is an arrogant control-freak. With a subservient Congress he will rule our Country like a Pharaoh – a God-King or an absolute ruler like Stalin or Hitler. Remember 'all power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely'. Hitler was a charismatic leader with a power of oratory that was hypnotic and which created outbursts of emotional ecstasy and hysteria amongst his devoted followers. We've all seen Barack Obama do this to the throngs that attend his rallies. Did you see Obama control the masses at Denver and St Louis? I am genuinely worried about where this is all leading to. Look at 'Leni' Riefenstahl's film called 'Triumph des Willens' – 'Triumph of The Will'. The whole 104 minute film is on YouTube. It was filmed in 1934 as Hitler hypnotised his adoring followers, in processions and rallies in Nuremburg. Hitler's movement was 'National Socialism'. Ring any bells? You will see haunting similarities with Obama's rallies. I don't believe for a moment that Obama would stoop to the worst depravities of Hitler, but I am convinced that he WOULD create an OVERBEARING and OPPRESSIVE STATE. Hitler, in his speeches, emoted about peace and the classless and unified people controlling the state. If you are charismatic and you tell a big lie and you tell it often enough and well enough, with conviction and eloquence using a form of words that can't be unravelled, then you can deceive millions of people – especially if you are telling them what they want to hear. This is a form of brainwashing. This is what Barack Obama is doing. Don't be deceived by his 'million-dollar' smile.
WAKE UP. WAKE UP with a jolt. WAKE UP in a cold sweat.
It's time to man the PANIC STATIONS, but it's NOT TOO LATE. We must ram home this message for the next 14 days and work non-stop to get out the vote for John McCain.
We have the opportunity to have John McCain, a real-life American hero and a man with vast experience and proven sound judgement, as our President. John McCain is a man we can trust and a man who will have a positive, constructive relationship with the Democrat controlled Congress and the American people. Most Democrats deep down inside know that they can trust John McCain and that he would make an excellent President. COME ON! COME ON! LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN!
