Call Rep. McHugh - Don't Support Card Check!

Union-beholden Democrats submitted the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) today in Congress and Representative John McHugh (NY-23) turned up as one of three Republicans out of the 223 co-sponsors of the bill.

EFCA is many things, but "free" is certainly not one of them. It's main goal is to take away workers' right to a secret ballot so that unions can openly shame, cajole, and intimidate those who do not vote to support unionization of their shops.

Unions and their supporters have no problem trying to shout down any opposition to the EFCA. Maybe it's time we started shouting up our own opposition. Rep. McHugh's Washington office can be reached at (202) 225-4611. Give him a call and let him know that you do not support EFCA, and neither should he. It's bad for workers, and it's bad for our country. Be nice, but be firm.
