Action Alert: Senate to Vote Tuesday on Radical Union Activist


           
 
 

Senate Votes Tuesday to Confirm Radical Union

Activist


Tell Congress Not to Side with Union Special Interests


The Senate is scheduled to vote tomorrow on the nomination of radical union activist Craig Becker.

Becker's nomination barley passed out of committee thanks to a groundswell of opposition given his extreme record. Tomorrow, the full Senate will vote on the controversial nominee.

We need your help right now to stop Craig Becker's nomination to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).

Click here to email your U.S. Senators today.

Many of you emailed your Senators last week to let them know that Craig Becker is the wrong man for the job. Please do so again today: Urge them to oppose this nomination once more.

The Senate is scheduled to vote Tuesday.

Becker's first nomination was placed on hold due to concerns over his extreme positions, especially anti-employer views.

Now, his nomination is even less certain.

Tell your Senators to say no to Craig Becker.

Big Labor and their allies in Congress are desperate to pass the dangerous "Card Check" bill. But thanks to grassroots pressure, you stopped it in its tracks.

We need you now to kill the latest special interest pay-off.

As a member of the NLRB, Becker could enact provisions of the Employee Free Choice Act without Congressional approval -- which is why Senator Harry Reid rushed his name through.

In today's economy, we need a renewed focus on jobs and economic growth. This nomination is a direct threat to those solutions.

Please email your Senators today. Tell them to reject the twice-nominated Becker.

Sincerely,


Bill Miller
Senior Vice President and National Political Director
U.S. Chamber of Commerce
