Recently in Big Tent Category

As I emailed you last week, I recently sent each of the 2012 Republican presidential candidates a survey asking them where they stand on the vital Right to Work issue.

We already know where Barack Obama stands, and what he stands for -- more forced unionism and more sweetheart deals for the union bosses.

So it's vital the Republican nominee stands up to Obama and Big Labor -- in writing.

But so far, some of the Republican candidates -- including Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry, and Mitt Romney among others -- have not returned our survey.

That's why it's vital you sign the Republican Candidate Challenge IMMEDIATELY.

Fortunately, I can report that Republicans Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Gary Johnson, and Ron Paul have answered their Candidate Surveys in 100% opposition to forced unionism.

Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Gary Johnson, and Ron Paul agree with the nearly 80% of Americans who believe it's just plain wrong to force workers to pay union dues.

Only you and other pro-Right to Work Americans can turn up the heat on Republican candidates like Gingrich, Perry, and Romney so they see the light.

And with the polls shifting nearly every day and still no clear favorite, now is the time the candidates are most likely to listen to concerned citizens like you.

Please contact all of your candidates who have yet to answer and demand that they return their Candidate Surveys in 100% support of Right to Work.

Click here to sign the Republican Candidate Challenge today urging the candidates to return their 2012 Right to Work questionnaires.

Also, please contact Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Gary Johnson, and Ron Paul, and thank them for their public opposition to forced unionism.

With the presidential primaries right around the corner, there isn't a moment to lose.

I hope you'll act right away.

Sincerely,

It's a simple question, really:

Should the federal government force workers to pay union dues just to keep their jobs?

Every candidate for president should answer that question publicly and in writing.

Empty rhetoric is not enough.

As you know, the National Right to Work Committee recently sent a nine-question survey to the Republican presidential candidates asking them where they stand on the issue of forced unionism.

That's why it's vital you contact the campaigns immediately.

Because Democrat incumbent Barack Obama has chosen to march in lock-step with Big Labor, it's crucial all the GOP candidates for president take a united stand against Obama's forced-dues agenda.

You see, this is our best window of opportunity to get the candidates to commit to 100% support for Right to Work -- especially to make it a high priority of their administration to enact a National Right to Work law.

The GOP presidential primary is wide open and politicians just listen better when they are in tight elections scrambling for voters' support.

Once a politician is comfortably ahead in the polls, it's much harder to get their attention.

So please, sign the Republican Candidate Challenge today urging the candidates to return their 2012 Right to Work questionnaires.

It's critical each candidate answers in writing the simple but important questions contained in the National Right to Work Committee's 2012 Presidential Survey.

After the deadline, my staff will launch our aggressive plan to report the results of the survey to voters in the early primary states of Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina and throughout the nation.

That's why, in addition to signing your Republican Candidate Challenge, I hope you'll also consider chipping in with a contribution of $10 or more.

We must be fully prepared to turn up the heat on any candidate who refuses to return the survey.

Please act at once!

Sincerely,

Mark Mix

One interesting thing happened since I last wrote you about our presidential survey program.

At the Republican presidential debate on Thursday night, a South Carolina resident on YouTube posed a question to the candidates: Do you support the National Right to Work Act?

The moderator indicated that the question was one of the most popular of all the questions submitted.

No surprise there.  Nearly 80% of Americans support the Right to Work principle that no worker should be compelled to join or pay dues to a union to get or keep a job.

.

Only one candidate (former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum) even got the chance to answer the Right to Work question and, typical politician, he dodged.

In Rick Santorum's case this comes as no surprise since as a Senator he voted to uphold the web of federal laws which authorize union officials to force workers to pay dues to keep their jobs when he voted against the National Right to Work Act.

Which just proves our point. It's vital that the candidates go on the record in writing to show the voters where they stand on the National Right to Work Act and eight other critical questions relating to forced unionism.

And we must have the resources we need to report the results to our members, the media, and primary voters.

That's why, two weeks ago, the National Right to Work Committee announced an ambitious fundraising campaign to launch hard-hitting TV ads in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina.

I'm so grateful to all the Right to Work supporters who chipped in to help.

Some could only afford $5 or $10. Others gave much more.

Over $110,000 poured in online, and my staff is still processing all the contributions we received in the mail.

With the matching grant from generous Right to Work supporters, I'm confident we'll be able to launch our program to full effect.

Thank you for making it all possible. We'll keep you informed as this critical program develops.

Sincerely,

Mark Mix

Looks like Glenn Beck is pulling out all the stops to put over his GB-TV venture - and more's the pity:
 

My friends, this is the kind of mega-purist attitude that will keep Barack Obama in the White House for another four years - and probably beyond.  Can't we have this intra-GOP civil war some other time?  Like, say, 75 years from now after the country has been long since saved from bankruptcy, dictatorship, and oblivion, and BHO has been consigned to the septic tank of American presidential history alongside Franklin Pierce and James Buchanan?  Because if this fratricidal bloodletting GB is so slobberingly eager for takes place now, there will be no united anti-Obama front in 2012 and no majority to terminate his disastrous presidency once and for all.

This sentence, I think, says it all:

"I like Michele Bachmann a lot, she's a fighter, she's never going to give up, she's wickedly smart," he said.
