Get Involved!!!

[Scott Arnett]

You may not have heard, but press conferences were held today in Lansing, Detroit, Traverse City, Grand Rapids, Flint, and Escanaba announcing the launch of a drive to pass Right to Work, or as we call it, Freedom to Work, in Michigan.

This would be the single greatest act to jump-start our economy that the Republican legislature could possibly take.  Study after study has shown that making union membership optional is a huge incentive for businesses to move in, with Freedom to Work states like Texas, Florida, and Arizona leading in new jobs.

But consider what makes Michigan special: we're a blue-collar state with one of the best trained workforces in the country, and we're surrounded by fellow forced-union states like Ohio and Illinois.  Jobs would flood into Michigan.

Democrat Party Chairman Mark Brewer told the media a fight for Freedom to Work would be "disastrous."  But just think for a moment: how does it benefit the Democrat Party chair if you believe him?

Just think what Freedom to Work would mean for the conservative movement, and for Republicans who took the bold stand to pass it.  They would preside over what might be the greatest economic turn-around in American history.

But the unions will threaten our Republican legislators, as Chairman Brewer just hinted at.

That's why it's so important that right now, while this issue is going up all over the news, we build as much support for this effort as possible.

House and Senate Republicans must sense the support is out there, that the grassroots will back them up for standing strong.

Please sign the Michigan Freedom to Work Petition today.  You can also "Like" the page on Facebook, and tell your friends about it.

Now is the time to put together as many people as we can get involved in this fight.

And I'm confident that this will unite the entire limited-government movement for countless future battles.

As long as labor unions can take government-granted power to extract dues from employees to spend on a big-government agenda, Michigan is not going to be a job-friendly state.  More and more people are recognizing this every day.

And now, we are ready to meet the challenge.

Will you join us?

Please sign the Michigan Freedom to Work Petition today, and pass it along to your friends, family, and co-workers.  Be sure to "Like" the site's pages on Facebook, too—and send it to your friends.

Freedom to Work is a jobs magnet!

Of the five most successful states in job growth from 1999-2009, all were Freedom to Work states, while the biggest losers were all forced-unionism states:

The Biggest Winners (all Freedom to Work)		The Biggest Losers (all forced-unionism)
1. Texas	+866,000	46. California	-170,400
2. Florida	+291,600	47. Indiana	-225,300
3. Arizona	+194,000	48. Illinois	-332,700
4. Virginia	+138,400	49. Ohio	-508,200
5. Nevada	+124,500	50. Michigan	-687,600

Because Michigan's neighbors—Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois—are all low-performing forced-union states, and because Michigan has so many well-qualified workers, Freedom to Work in Michigan would have an even more dramatic effect: new jobs would flow in from all over the Midwest.

What a welcome change that would be.

Please sign the Michigan Freedom to Work Petition today, and pass it along to your friends, family, and co-workers.  Then, forward them this e-mail.

Thanks again for all that you do for freedom,

Gee, the only Michigan jobs to be lost would be those of union bosses...and that would rank just below the "job vacancy" created with the loss of the al-Qaeda Union Boss due to the Navy Seals' efforts in Pakistan!!!

I wonder if we could sign the petition with the same "auto-pen" that Obama used???

This is the single most important issue regarding job creation in Michigan! We would be the only Great Lakes state to have such a law.
