Card Check is a horrible and would get rid of secret balloting in unionizing placing workers at risk of intimidation and bullying.

Help support Jim Gilmore(VA) and Steve Pearce (NM), Proven Conservatives!

Gilmore Slams Mark Warner for Opposing Drilling!

He served in the military, cut taxes, reduced the rate of growth of state government, defended the unborn
and most importantly kept his promises.

energy bill would actually erect more barriers to drilling and illustrates the
liberal environmental activists who are funding Democrats in efforts to stop

A simple summary of what this actually is would have been helpful, instead of a morass of interrupting links.

Neal Boortz Nealz Nuze 9/9/2008 and Newsvine: Democrat Hypocrisy Once Again

This letter was written on August 29, 2001 to the government of Puebla, Mexico as they were considering making union votes public and not private affairs. It states:

As members of Congress of the United States who are deeply concerned with international labor standards and the role of labor rights in international trade agreements, we are writing to encourage you to use the secret ballot in all union recognition elections.

We understand that the secret ballot is allowed for, but not required, by Mexican labor law. However, we feel that the secret ballot is absolutely necessary in order to ensure that workers are not intimidated into voting for a union they might not otherwise choose.

We respect Mexico as an important neighbor and trading partner, and we feel that the increased use of the secret ballot in union recognition elections will help bring real democracy to the Meixcan workplace.

signed: George Miller, Bernard Sanders, Lane Evans, Martin Olav Sabo, Joe Baca, Dennis J. Kucinich, Fortney Pete Stark, James P. McGovern, Marcy Kaptur, William J. Coyne, Bob Filner, Barney Frank, Zoe Lofgren, Calvin M. Dooley, Barbara Lee, Lloyd Doggett

I guess secret ballots are good enough to protect the rights of Mexican workers from union abuse, but American workers don't deserve them.

This thing is such a steaming pile that George McGovern, of all people, has made a commercial opposing it.
