Democrats Targeting States to Repeal Right to Work Laws

Wow, this is alarming!

Nevada has a Democratic trifecta this year, and Virginia is barely a divided government, with a Democratic governor and slim one-seat Republican majorities in both chambers of the Virginia Legislature.

Things are not looking good for labor reforms and worker freedom if these states end up upending the right-to-work laws currentlyu in place

This is not a drill, Arthur.  Union bosses are launching an all-out assault against the two states crucial to destroying Right to Work across the nation.. Their plan is to ram through the repeal of Right to Work laws in Nevada and Virginia this year as part of their roadmap to capture control of Congress and the White House in 2020.  That’s because union bosses are salivating over the HUNDREDS of MILLIONS of dollars they could arm their candidates with in 2020 by repealing these two Right to Work laws.  To make matters worse, union bosses will use this momentum to catapult attacks on EVERY Right to Work law in the country.  In fact The Nation, a propaganda news outlet for union bosses, recently boasted the attacks, “will inspire more Democrats in that state and nationwide” to overturn Right to Work laws.  But mark my words, your Committee is not about to let that happen.  Please read Mark's message below IMMEDIATELY — it briefs you on everything we have lined up to stop Big Labor dead in their tracks.  Then, please pitch in right away with your most generous contribution of $10, $25 or more.  Our strength to fight only comes from supporters like you.  So please, grant us the resources we need to hold firm at this hour with a quick contribution right away.  Sincerely,  Greg Mourad Vice President, National Right to Work Committee From: Mark Mix [mark.mix@nrtwcommittee.org]  To: Greg Mourad [greg@nrtwcommittee.org]  Subject: HORRIBLE NEWS Dear Arthur,  I have horrible news.  And it requires your IMMEDIATE action.  As I write you this email, union bosses are preparing an all-out assault to repeal Right to Work laws in two key states!  Union bosses captured control of the state legislature and Governor's mansion in Nevada last fall and are also potentially three or four votes shy of full repeal in Virginia.  They're licking their chops to the tune of potentially HUNDREDS of MILLIONS of dollars flowing back into their forced-dues for politics coffers.  In fact, repealing state Right to Work laws is part of their plan to seize control of Congress and the White House in 2020. To make matters worse, your Committee's resources are depleted after our 4-pronged issue-discussion battle plan exposed union bosses' candidates and allies in the Senate to the nearly 80% of Americans who oppose forced-unionism. . .  . . . torpedoing Big Labor's plans to take control of the U.S. Senate.  In this nightmare scenario, I can't help but be reminded of the Battle of Bunker Hill during the American Revolution.  You see, Colonial forces were in a prime tactical position atop the hill as British troops stormed the terrain.  And despite being outnumbered and outgunned, Colonial soldiers fought back two massive assaults and the British empire was forced to retreat after each wave.  Then, just as victory was within reach, the colonists faced an ammunition shortage.  Colonial forces were forced to resort to throwing rocks and swinging their muskets as the British troops charged the hill and captured the high ground.  Just like the Colonial troops on Bunker Hill, your Committee is in a tactical position to defeat Big Labor's efforts in both states.  But it will require a tremendous effort by your Committee.  And without additional funding, I'm afraid we could face the same outcome as Bunker Hill with Big Labor storming the state capitols and snatching victory in the eleventh hour.  I refuse to let that happen.  That's why I established an Emergency Right to Work Defense Fund so your Committee can fight back right away.  Arthur, I'm counting on you to come through with an emergency donation of $50 immediately.  I know that may be asking for quite a lot.  But if we're forced to scale back now, we may face defeat — just like the Colonial troops on Bunker Hill.  If $50 is too much at this time, please consider helping us defend Right to Work with $25 or at least $10.  Your contribution will be rushed right away to bolster our proven tactics and defensive battle plans — so whatever amount you give, please give immediately.  You see, the media hyped up a so-called “blue wave” for Big Labor's hand-picked candidates on election night.  Yet many union bosses were shocked after the number of Right to Work pledged supporters actually increased in the U.S. Senate.  But now union bosses are out for revenge.  Fueled by the BILLIONS of dollars American workers are forced to fork over, Big Labor is scheming to ram through the repeal of Right to Work laws in Nevada and Virginia.  Union bosses are salivating over the thought of forcing workers in these key states to cough up hundreds of millions of dollars for Big Labor's forced-dues for politics scheme.  We simply can't let that happen.  It's crucial we allocate our resources to double-down on our proven programs.  But without additional funding, your Committee may be forced to scale back — allowing Big Labor to waltz through the state house demanding full repeal of Right to Work.  That's why I'm hoping you'll help us defend Right to Work with an emergency contribution right away.  Your most generous contribution will directly fuel our efforts to defend Right to Work.  And your support couldn't be more crucial than at this very moment as we battle against Big Labor.  As we've seen in the states where we passed Right to Work laws over the last few years, Big Labor will unleash a fury of protests and dirty tactics.  West Virginia's capitol was packed with union bosses seeking to defeat our quest for worker freedom.  But that was nothing compared to the avalanche of protests when Right to Work was passed in Wisconsin.  In Michigan, teacher union militants staged "sick-outs" across the state to flood Lansing with intimidating protests.  And no one can forget when Big Labor's politicians fled Indiana for nearly six weeks — just to block a simple vote on the Right to Work bill.  Arthur, if this is how union bosses respond when threatened with passage of Right to Work, imagine how they will act during an opportunity to repeal it.  But thanks to generous contributions from supporters like you, Arthur, the Committee was able to defeat Big Labor's intimidation tactics before.  If union bosses are successful in repealing just one Right to Work state law, not only could more state laws fall like dominos . . .  . . . But I'm afraid it could also stall our momentum to pass the National Right to Work Act in Congress.  That's why your emergency contribution of $50 is so important. With the stakes this high, I'm really hoping you're able to dig deep and come through with $50 right away.  I realize that may be more than you've given to the National Right to Work Committee before.  But if that's too much right now, please consider $25 or at least $10.  At this very moment, your Committee must expand the final phases of our proven mobilization plan designed to put pressure on key legislators who could control the fate of state Right to Work laws.  If funds allow, the Committee will:

*** Double-down on deploying email alerts and phone calls into targeted districts in the final days before the vote; *** Grow our team of key staff to personally brief editorial writers, columnists and radio talk show hosts; *** Expand our state-of-the-art digital campaign through Google and Facebook, allowing us to reach tens of thousands of Right to Work supporters to urge their Representatives to defend Right to Work.

But none of this will be possible without your generous financial support.  And time's running out.  That's why your action is needed IMMEDIATELY.  So please consider an emergency donation of $50, $25, or at least $10 right away.  You see, repealing even just one state Right to Work law would ignite a tidal wave of momentum for Big Labor.  MILLIONS of dollars will be RIPPED from the hands of the workers who earned it and put into the coffers of union bosses to elect and re-elect their hand-picked candidates in 2020.  So you can be sure the union bosses will fire everything they have to expand their forced-dues power.  That's because Big Labor needs the power of compulsory unionism and the BILLIONS of dollars American workers are forced to fork over.  If your Committee defeats Big Labor, the union bosses' attempts at blocking the National Right to Work Act and seizing control of Congress and the White House in 2020 will be much more difficult.  And, believe me, they know it.  That's why union militants and their lackeys are feverishly scheming to repeal state Right to Work laws and expand their government-granted forced-dues power and kill Right to Work.  Without additional funding, I'm afraid your Committee could strike out in Nevada and Virginia.  That's why your emergency donation today is urgently needed.  Can I count on you for an urgent contribution of $50, $25 or at least $10 to fuel your Committee's Emergency Right to Work Defense Fund?  Arthur, your support is vital to really turn up the heat — with phone calls, email and Internet ads, radio, even TV ads if funding permits — to inform Americans about the effects of Right to Work and where the legislators stand.  With your help, my staff and I will be able to mobilize the majority of Americans who oppose forced unionism to stop Big Labor's attempts to scare wavering legislators into voting to repeal Right to Work.  But these bills could be ready to move any day now.  So it's vital you act at once to beat back Big Labor's attempts to repeal Right to Work.  I hope you'll consider an emergency contribution of $50, $25 or at least $10 right away.  Sincerely,  Mark Mix President National Right to Work Committee P.S. Big Labor is preparing an all-out assault to repeal Right to Work laws in Nevada and are potentially just three votes away from repeal in Virginia.  If successful, HUNDREDS of MILLIONS of dollars will be ripped from the hands of the workers who earned it and earmarked for Big Labor's plans to capture control of Congress and the White House in 2020.  I refuse to let that happen.  That's why I've created an Emergency Right to Work Defense Fund to fuel your Committee's tried and true programs against Big Labor's repeal efforts.  I need your immediate help to fund our efforts right away.  Arthur, I'm counting on you to come through with an emergency donation of $50 immediately.  If that's too much at this time, please help us block Big Labor's attempts to defeat Right to Work with an emergency donation of $25 or at least $10.  The National Right to Work Committee is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, single-purpose citizens' organization dedicated to combating compulsory unionism through an aggressive program designed to mobilize public opposition to compulsory unionism and, at the same time, enlist public support for Right to Work legislation.
