Something wicked this way comes…

Creeping Socialism has been the hallmark of the Obama administration and the NLRB (National Labor Relations Board) is just another cog in the wheel. Consider this: in 2009, the Boeing airline manufacturer announced it would open a plant in South Carolina, providing employment for 1,000 men and women.

Big labor bosses at the International Assoc. of Machinists Union filed an Unfair Labor Practice against Boeing demanding that the plant be shut down. South Carolina, like our own State, is a right to work State.The NLRB comes into all of this when their acting General Counsel, Lafe Solomon, filed a complaint against Boeing to stop the building of the plant and force Boeing to transfer the manufacturing to Washington -a forced union State.

There is a bill before the Senate (S.964) that simply states that employers have the right to open businesses and hire workers wherever they think it makes sense to do so. The Obama bureaucrats at the NLRB will be prevented from suing them from making sound economic decisions to move to a Right to work State.

That this is happening in our Country, is hard to believe yet it comes as no surprise to many of us. There is a cancer in the white house that must be removed and this is just one more example of why moderates, independents and conservatives must join together and present a united front in 2012. If we fail, the Nation that you and I grew up in, the Nation that so many died protecting will cease to exist.
