MORE PROOF OF HOW UNIONS HAVE DEMOCRATS IN THEIR HIP POCKETS

Near midnight this past Thursday, Nancy Pelosi and her fellow Big Labor apologists in the U.S. House of Representatives disgracefully amended pending war funding legislation to include the Police and Firefighter Monopoly Bargaining Bill.

And this was no accident or last-minute decision. Further, she wasn't acting on her own.  It was reported that the union-label House leadership had just days before met behind closed doors with Big Labor's high command, including AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, AFSCME President Gerald McEntee, CWA President Larry Cohen, and IAFF General President Harold Schaitberger.

Knowing the widespread opposition to their union boss power grab, the union barons demanded their allies in the House sneak the dangerous bill into a "must pass vehicle." Nancy Pelosi was happy to oblige her Big Labor masters.  As you know, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has been itching to ram through this bill for weeks, but outcry delayed his efforts before the Senate adjourned for Independence Day.

And now that Police and Firefighter Monopoly Bargaining has made it through the House (albeit through desperate tactics), the battle in the Senate will be more crucial than ever.  Because of the November elections time is running out for Big Labor. But as we saw this week, the union bosses will do whatever it takes to strengthen their grip on hardworking Americans.

That's why we must stay vigilant.  If you haven't already, please call or fax your Senators demanding they oppose Police and Firefighter Monopoly Bargaining.  STOP THIS UNION TAKEOVER OF OUR LIVES!
