Instead of working on the fast approaching budget problem, Senator Rand Paul writes....
Senator Paul sent the letter through the NRWC. Below is only about 20% of the entire letter. So full of, well you know. And yes he asks for $ to elect more tea drinkers. Same line about President Obama doesn't have to run again. This time it's workers instead of guns.
Dear Concerned American:
"I owe these unions."
President Barack Obama couldn't have stated it any more clearly.
And after spending an estimated BILLION dollars to re-elect Barack Obama and maintain control of the U.S. Senate, the union bosses couldn't agree more.
They're wasting no time demanding PAYBACK.
Top AFL-CIO union boss Richard Trumka has already made clear that he expects Big Labor's Card Check Forced Unionism Bill to be a top priority in Obama's second term.
Not only that, Trumka threatened to use his forced-dues political warchest to oust any member of Congress in 2014 who stands in his way.
That's why it's vital you sign the petiton below putting yourself squarely on record OPPOSED to the union bosses' Card Check Forced Unionism Bill -- and the rest of Big Labor's agenda -- IMMEDIATELY.
Since Barack Obama doesn't have to face the voters again for re-election, the union bosses understand this may be their last -- and best -- opportunity to make Card Check Forced Unionism the law of the land.
That's why it's vital you act today!
It's vital you act TODAY!
Sincerely,
Rand Paul, M.D.
U.S. Senator
