This week, the so-called Employee Free Choice Act, or "Card Check" was introduced in the U.S. Congress.
This bill would effectively eliminate our right to vote by private ballot when deciding whether to join a union, and undermine our right to freely negotiate contracts. It would also kill jobs in America when we need them most. We cannot open the door to coercion, and allow freedom to be supplanted by fear in the workplace. Based upon Congress' actions today, it's clear we have an urgent fight on our hands.
To defeat this destructive bill, we began our Freedom Not Fear campaign last week, and introduced Saul Anuzis to lead this project as National Chairman. In just a few days, close to 70,000 Americans have signed the petition.
Please stand with us today and sign the Freedom Not Fear petition by clicking here. Once you sign, please recruit your friends and family, so together we can build a strong grassroots network of citizen leaders across the country.
