[StBernard] Time Running Out to Stop this Radical Obama Nominee

[Westley Annis]

At Big Labor’s demand, the Senate Labor Committee is preparing to vote on radical union lawyer Craig Becker’s nomination to the National Labor Relations Board without even holding a hearing.  Aside from the Wall Street Journal, the media is turning a blind eye to this forced unionism extremist’s record.

Please read this urgent message below to learn more about Craig Becker and then please contact your Senators and urge them to oppose this outrageous nomination to the federal agency tasked with overseeing America’s private sector workplaces.

“[Secret ballot] elections are profoundly undemocratic.”

Those are the words of Big Labor lawyer Craig Becker, Barack Obama’s latest nominee to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). . .

. . . and the man your U.S. Senators could be asked to confirm any day now.

That’s why it’s vital you call your U.S. Senators TODAY and demand that they vote against the nomination of Craig Becker to the NLRB.

Here are your Senators' numbers:

Senator Mary Landrieu: 202-224-5824
Senator Dave Vitter: 202-224-4623

You see, Craig Becker’s record proves that he is a radical -- even by Big Labor’s standards.

In fact, as ACORN founder Wade Rathke stated, the appointment of Big Labor’s “secret weapon” Craig Becker would be a “big win no matter how you shake and bake it.”

As the quasi-judicial agency that administers federal labor law, just one of the functions of the NLRB is to oversee secret ballot elections and resolve unfair labor practices committed by union organizers.

That’s why the union bosses see a militant NLRB as one of Big Labor’s most treacherous accomplices in increasing its radical forced-dues power.

Under a union-label NLRB, workers who try to dismiss unwanted union monopoly bargaining agents -- or even try to stop their forced dues from being used to elect handpicked Big Labor candidates –- would be denied even the most basic protections.

And, considering Craig Becker’s record, it’s not a stretch to believe that -- should he be confirmed by the U.S. Senate -- Mr. Becker wouldn’t think twice about rubber stamping even the most abusive forced-unionism schemes cooked up by union militants.

You see, as a former AFL-CIO and SEIU union lawyer, Becker is solely responsible for forcing tens of thousands of workers under union boss control.

In one case, reports from a Los Angeles SEIU Local union revealed that almost 63,000 people rejected membership in the union in 2007, but thanks to Becker, were still forced to pay dues.

And Becker’s own words explain why.

He was even so bold as to say unions were “formed to escape the evils of individualism and individual competition . . . their actions necessarily involve coercion.”

So, it should come as no surprise that Becker supports “home visits,” in which union militants repeatedly harass workers at home until they sign union authorization cards.

The fact is, Craig Becker is so extreme he actually believes the only choice workers should have is WHICH union they should be FORCED to pay dues to.

And should one refuse, he and the rest of Big Labor’s lackeys on the NLRB will choose for them.

Nothing would be more disastrous for American workers!

With the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee (HELP) due to take up the nomination next week, right now is the most crucial time to expose Becker’s forced unionism record.

Of course, to stop Becker’s appointment, the full Senate must reject him, but if the HELP Committee doesn’t do it’s job by probing his radical views, it’s safe to say that won’t happen.

That’s why it’s vital you call your U.S. Senators today urging them to vote against the confirmation of Craig Becker at every opportunity.

Senator Mary Landrieu: 202-224-5824
Senator Dave Vitter: 202-224-4623

And, if at all possible, please make your most generous contribution <http://paracom.paramountcommunication.com/ct/3511115:5018841518:m:1:155652665:A1E1EAE72051942F8B4B46085D550FD8>  today to help the National Right to Work Committee keep Craig Becker off the National Labor Relations Board.

But most importantly, call your U.S. Senators IMMEDIATELY and demand that they vote against union militant Craig Becker’s nomination to the NLRB.

Sincerely,
Mark Mix
President

P.S. The U.S. Senate could vote any day now to confirm militant union lawyer Craig Becker to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).

That’s why it’s vital you call your U.S. Senators at once and demand they vote against Craig Becker’s NLRB confirmation.
