indication of what organization the person's with).

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

65: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.
