		<description><![CDATA[<p>Today, Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are calling the shots in a Union-Label White House and Congress.</p>
<p>So it&#8217;s easy to see why the past two years have been a dream come true for Big Labor.</p>
<p>Now, with the November 2 elections rapidly approaching, the union bosses are doing everything they can to hang on to their massive Congressional majorities.</p>
<p>And they&#8217;re hoping you WILL NOT read this letter.</p>
<p>You see, the union bosses don&#8217;t want you to know which candidates stand with them, and which ones stand with the nearly 80% of Americans that oppose forced unionism.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why I recently sent each of your candidates for U.S. House and Senate a Right to Work Candidate Survey &#8212; and why your IMMEDIATE action is needed.</p>
<p>Today, I&#8217;m pleased to report to you that Republican Senate candidate Ken Buck and Republican Congressional candidate Scott Tipton have both answered their Candidate Surveys in 100% opposition to forced unionism.</p>
<p>But, I have bad news, too.</p>
<p>So far, Democrat incumbent U.S. Senator Michael Bennet and Democrat incumbent U.S. Congressman John Salazar have refused to pledge 100% opposition to forced unionism.</p>
<p>But John Salazar&#8217;s pro-forced-unionism position is no secret.</p>
<p>You see, as a Congressman, John Salazar voted FOR Big Labor&#8217;s cherished Card Check Forced Unionism Bill.</p>
<p>If passed, not only would this dangerous bill strip workers of their right to a secret ballot election when union organizers target their workplaces, but it would CRUSH our fragile economy, as well.</p>
<p>Not only that, but Congressman Salazar also voted for the Police and Firefighter Monopoly Bargaining Bill &#8212; one of Big Labor&#8217;s most far-reaching power grabs.</p>
<p>If passed, this bill could force ALL police officers and firefighters nationwide under union boss control and would wreck state and local budgets.</p>
<p>Now, Big Labor has funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars into both Michael Bennet&#8217;s and John Salazar&#8217;s campaigns.</p>
<p>It looks like Big Labor can&#8217;t wait for Michael Bennet and John Salazar to go back to Washington, D.C. to vote for more forced unionism.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why you need to turn U.S. Senator Michael Bennet and Congressman John Salazar around &#8212; before it&#8217;s too late.</p>
<p>The fact is, AFL-CIO Boss Richard Trumka and his union boss cohorts have accumulated a one BILLION dollar forced-dues-funded political war chest to smash all Big Labor opposition.</p>
<p>And if they succeed, &#8220;Card Check&#8221; and the Police and Firefighter Monopoly Bargaining Bill would be just the tip of the iceberg.</p>
<p>The union bosses&#8217; forced-dues wish list also includes:</p>
<p>Passage of a bill that would force ALL state and local public employees across the country under Big Labor&#8217;s thumb;</p>
<p>Passage of the so-called &#8220;Striker Replacement&#8221; Bill, which would force employers to punish workers who decide to work during a strike and virtually guarantee even the most outrageous union boss demands must be met;</p>
<p>Repeal of Section 14(b) of the Taft-Hartley Act, wiping out ALL state Right to Work laws nationwide.</p>
<p>Can you imagine the damage even ONE of these bills could do to our economy?</p>
<p>Especially now? Especially considering the economic uncertainty, the lost jobs and the stock market rollercoaster we&#8217;ve seen over the past several months?</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s crucial you contact ALL of your candidates for the U.S. House and Senate TODAY.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what you can do to help:</p>
<p>1)	Contact Democrat incumbent Senator Michael Bennet and Democrat incumbent Congressman John Salazar, and urge them to return their Candidate Surveys in 100% opposition to the union bosses&#8217; forced-dues agenda.</p>
<p>Please, also, DEMAND that John Salazar apologize for his votes for &#8220;Card Check&#8221; and the Police and Firefighter Monopoly Bargaining Bill;</p>
<p>2)	Contact Republican Senate candidate Ken Buck and Republican House candidate Scott Tipton, and thank them for standing up to Big Labor and pledging 100% opposition to forced unionism.</p>
<p>With so much at stake this year, we&#8217;re really stretching our budget to put the heat on the candidates and keep opponents of forced unionism informed.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>In his speech in France, Barack Obama called America &#8220;arrogant.&#8221; </p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure the French loved it &#8211; And so did the liberal press.</p>
<p>But who is this president who calls the American people arrogant?</p>
<p>This is the same politician whose supporters anointed him &#8220;The One&#8221; and a candidate who boasted that his election would be remembered as &#8220;the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.&#8221;</p>
<p>This is the same man who indicated his disdain for small town and working Americans when he said they &#8220;cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren&#8217;t like them,&#8221; while addressing a group of San Francisco caviar and champagne liberal elitists.</p>
<p>How arrogant is that? Arrogant enough?</p>
<p>In truth, President Obama seems to champion the twisted &#8220;Blame-America First&#8221; mentality of the worst of the American left.</p>
<p>More importantly, it shows an absence of wisdom to criticize the United States while on foreign soil, and then join with the Pelosi-Reid Democrats in Congress to do everything possible to end American exceptionalism and create a weak, dependent socialist state patterned after the examples of Europe.</p>
<p>    * He has taken steps towards nationalizing American auto companies; firing executives while leaving in power the same Union Bosses who funded his campaign and helped cripple the U.S.&#8217;s manufacturing base. </p>
<p>    * He has refused to let financial firms pay back taxpayer-funded bailout loans, so he can make them hostages to the whims of the Federal government. </p>
<p>    * As a lawyer, Obama once sued the same financial institutions on behalf of radical groups like ACORN for failing to use leftist social engineering criteria for lending instead of an applicant&#8217;s ability to repay a loan. </p>
<p>    * He has opened up talks with Iran. Apparently, he believes he can make peace with crackpot tyrants and heartless terrorists simply by sitting down and talking. </p>
<p>    * He campaigned on &#8220;transparency&#8221; and &#8220;integrity&#8221; in government and then has nominated a rogue gallery of tax evaders, Washington bureaucrats, and lobbyists to run his Administration. </p>
<p>    * And he has brazenly followed his chief of staff&#8217;s maxim of &#8220;You never want a serious crisis to go to waste &#8230; This crisis provides the opportunity for us to do things that you could not do before&#8221; to cripple our free markets with massive taxation and spending that wrests away our freedoms and puts even our great-grandchildren in debt. </p>
<p>You know that Barack Obama&#8217;s hubris and charisma conceal the inexperience and lack of wisdom that our country cannot afford in its president.</p>
<p>And though the teleprompter and mainstream media liberals may delay America&#8217;s realization of the peril the Obama White House portends for our future for a while, the eventual failure of leftist policies and ineffective leadership will not.</p>
<p>We must be ready when that time comes. </p>
