STAND UP TO OBAMA AND HIS NKLRB (KGB?)

Conservatives,

It's about time Congress stood up to President Barack Obama's out-of-control National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).As you know, for decades Congress has abandoned much of its Constitutional authority and handed it over to an ever-growing executive branch.
Fortunately, the Congressional Review Act (CRA) allows Congress to overturn outrageous regulations like the bureaucratic power grabs rammed through the Obama Labor Board
.Now it's up to you and me to make sure Congress does its job.S.J. Res. 36 is a Joint Resolution of Disapproval that would prevent implementation of the NLRB's "ambush" election rules that sparked a record-breaking outcry from Americans like you last year.Over 65,000 comments poured into the NLRB last year -- the vast majority against the proposed rules -- but the former union lawyers on the NLRB were desperate to ram through the rules anyway.The final rule is set to take effect on April 30 -- so time is running out!
That's why it's vital you sign the petition urging your Senators to support S.J. Res 36.

S.J. Res. 36 would stop these new "ambush" election rules that represent nothing more than a backdoor attempt by the NLRB to undermine Congressional authority by granting Big Labor the power it sought from the Card Check Forced Unionism Bill.Congress, responding to the grassroots pressure from concerned citizens like you, recognized the danger presented to American workers by Big Labor's Card Check scheme and rightfully refused to pass the bill.However, in proposing the "ambush" election rules, President Obama and his NLRB have again demonstrated their lack of regard for not only Congressional authority and the will of the American people but also for the rights of the American worker.You see, this proposal would diminish employees' ability to make a fully informed decision by reducing time in which the process occurs from the current average of 38 days to as little as one week.Worse, allowing the new rules will likely result in additional harassment and intimidation for hundreds of thousands of American workers.The former union lawyers on the NLRB have let the door open for future rule changes that would grant union bosses the right to workers' personal information -- forcing employers to hand over employees' names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses and work shifts.When making such an important decision as to whether or not they want a union's so-called "representation," American workers should not only be protected from the intimidation so often employed by union bosses but must also be afforded the time necessary to make a fully informed decision.This was understood by John F. Kennedy who recognized the necessity of a "safeguard against rushing employees into an election where they are unfamiliar with the issues."Employees should be afforded the time to make the decision they feel is best for themselves and their families, as well as access to information for every point of view -- not just that of union bosses.These rules changes are aimed at furthering the interests of Big Labor at the expense of workers' ability to make a fully informed decision on an important matter.The reality under these rules will be that already busy workers face additional burdens, while union officials get increased power and more special privileges to aide them in harassing and forcing workers under their thumbs and into paying dues.The Obama Labor Board has gone far beyond its authority in serving Big Labor's agenda. Congress must stop the runaway NLRB and its assaults on workers and businesses in this country.That is why I hope you will sign the petition urging your Senators to support S.J. Res. 36, which would use the Congressional Review Act to stop the union bosses and their allies on the Obama Labor Board, before it's too late.The final rule is set to take effect on April 30, so there's not a moment to lose.And after you've signed your petition, please chip in with a contribution of $10 or more today to help your Committee mobilize even more Americans in support of S.J. Res. 36.Please, act right away.Sincerely, Mark MixP.S. S.J.
