Would you like to go to the polls on Nov. 4th and have everyone view
your ballot? Not too many people would. The right to a private ballot
is important to Americans.
Peer pressure can be a powerful force--especially in unions. There is a bill right now called the Employee Free Choice Act, HR 800. The name would make you think it protected privacy. It doesn't. Senator Barack Obama co-sponsored and voted for it.
It is such an affront to workers' rights, that even former Senator George McGovern opposes it. He ran an ad during last night's debate describing why he was against this legislation. (It was one of the highlights of the debate!) From Real Clear Politics,
One of labor's top agenda items for at least the last two years has
been the Employee Free Choice Act, which would strip employees from the
secret ballot in deciding whether to form a union. The measure was
defeated earlier, but will doubtlessly get a second hearing with an
Obama administration.
You can see the ad on Gateway Pundit, who concludes, "Too radical for George McGovern?...That's Barack Obama!"
