Wisconsin and Ohio versus the Unions - Right to Work at Stake

The Union's are on the attack again fighting against Wisconsin's union bargaining reforms and now against Ohio's new right to work law for the government sector.

How can any responsible person be against the concept of "right to work". Right to work simple means, having the right to work in a job your are qualified for without having a union "tax" (at best) or "extort" (at worse) part of your pay check to pay for, among other things, political ads overwhelmingly for liberal, socialist values?

Wisconsin and Ohio both righted a moral wrong by eliminating the union's power over government employees,...but as the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation correct asserts, the union bosses won't relinquish their special legal privileges without a fight.

Right now union lawyers are scheming and working to overturn Wisconsin's monopoly bargaining reforms in the courts, union bosses and their allies in Ohio have launched a massive campaign in support of a ballot measure that would repeal Ohio's new government-sector Right to Work law.

This past week, with free legal aid from the National Right to Work Foundation, 15 Ohio school teachers filed a class-action suit demonstrating once again why the new Right to Work protections are so clearly needed. All 15 teachers who launched the lawsuit have exercised their right to refrain from membership in the Ohio Education Association (OAE) union and its affiliates, but nonetheless are forced to accept the "representation" of and pay tribute to union bosses as a condition of employment.

In the Foundation-won precedent Abood v. Detroit Board of Education, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the First Amendment guarantees that nonmember teachers cannot be forced to pay dues or fees for union-boss politics and other non-bargaining activities.

OEA union officials have unlawfully overcharged the teachers for costs supporting the union's political activism and electioneering, which of course is again over-whelmingly if not 100% in support of Democrats, Liberals, Big Government spending, anti-constitutionalists and Socialists,....ahh, but I'm being redundant.

One of big wrongs this Country has to fix is when workers can be compelled to support an unwanted union.

The above article was para-phrased in part from a report by The National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation. This is a nonprofit, charitable organization providing free legal aid to employees whose human or civil rights have been violated by compulsory unionism abuses. The Foundation, which can be contacted toll-free at 1-800-336-3600, is assisting thousands of employees in nearly 200 cases nationwide. The Foundation's mailing address is 8001 Braddock Road, Springfield, Virginia 22160. Its web address is www.nrtw.org/

Cartoon of the Week - Scottish View Of Obama

Left Turn or Right Turn for this Nation?

Cowboys received the following comment, obviously from an Obama apologists,...the comment: "This nation is further right than I've ever seen it. We are bleeding conservationism from every pore of our beings. You crazies have hijacked our country, and you have no body to blame but yourselves."

Reply from Cowboys: Wow! Have you been off the planet for the past three years? Under the Obama regime, up until Novemeber 2010 (actually Jan 2011), this Country was ran, and ran into the ground, by Democrats. These Demos were certainly not from my father's party, they are better identified as "socialists", "Marxists" and "America Apologists" if not outright "America haters". As you remember (you change history) the House changed from Democrat control to Republican control through an election of historic margins. Yes, the People are tired of Democrat ineptitude and corruption. Still the Butt Clowns of Obama-Reid-Kerry-Pelosi-Frank-Dodd-Sharpton party control 2/3rds of the government.

The failed economy is squarely on the Democrat scorecard. From the housing bust,.. ....blame Chris Dodd and Barney "Mumbles" Frank, both Democrats who personally profited,..... to Nancy "sign the bill into law so we can see what's in it" Pelosi, ...to the President himself who has not presented a plan to the American people let along Congress for action. Again, NOT presented a plan, neither has the Senate Dems. How can anyone rationalize or justify this incredible lack of leadership?

No, my idiot liberal friend, it is the Democrats who are driving this country to a more conservative mindset, as the People see what the liberals offer with empty sound bites and failed policies,....and possible National bankruptcy. Look at what just happened in Wisconsin. The People spoke, and Demo politicians should be looking for other work.

During the Obama speech on Monday (8 August), the Market reacted to his hollow words and empty general promises by tanking a further 200+ points. You are certainly allowed your opinion,.....some of my friends have died to ensure that,..but you cannot have your own facts. Latest fact: First time this Country has been downgraded on it's credit worthiness and the blame lays on Obama.
