I think someone in the union has the right to a private vote, and that's why I'm anti-card check. I grew up in a union family. My grandfather was a coal miner; he was in the union.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We are just interested in dealing with the people we're paying every day. We know federal law allows them to vote in a union at anytime, but we think we can resist that by talking to our own people and giving them enough upside.
I'm against voter fraud in any form, and I have long supported a national voter ID card. But ID cards need not - and must not - restrict voting rights in any way, shape or form.
Every individual should have both the right to join a union and the right to not join a union should they so choose. It's about basic human freedom.
I sometimes think that unions don't understand that we live in a free society, and people have the right to not select union representation if they don't want it.
By what right do you refuse to accept the vote of a citizen of the United States?
Voting is a Constitutional right. Absent any evidence of fraud, all Americans have a protected right to vote, be they rich or poor, black, Hispanic or white, people who live in a big city or in remote rural areas.
The decision to join or not join a service union, political party or other organization should be left up to the individual. No such organization has the right to take money out of the pockets of state workers without their proper consent.
I oppose any attempt to grant homosexual unions the same legal privileges that civil government affords to traditional marriage and family life.
The right to vote is one of our nation's most important civil rights.
I really can't imagine how anyone could, in good conscience, oppose the proposition that the states should be able to deny the status of marriage to same-sex unions.
