The heart of the fight over
Right-to-Work in Michigan is generally overlooked – it is a free speech
issue. Unions want to be able to
continue to extract forced dues from workers as a condition of employment and
then spend those dues on political causes, namely the Democrat Party of course,
regardless of the political consciences of those workers.
That is tyranny. Saying someone has free speech but then
forcing them to fund Democrat (or Republican) political campaigns or lose their
jobs is not free speech at all. And don’t take my word on it.
To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he
disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical. – Thomas Jefferson
Right-to-Work laws end this union
tyranny . . . which is exactly why unions have engaged in violence in
opposition to the new Michigan Right-to-Work law.
And let there be no doubt of the
Left’s hatred of free speech (the freedom of speech of their opponents, of
course). Union thugs tore down an Americans for Prosperity tent. And
Obama has attacked the Michigan Right-to-Work law (and has not condemned the
union violence there).
I never thought I’d live to see a
Right-to-Work law being passed in Michigan of all places. They are to be congratulated for
standing up to the union thugs and to Obama and for standing up for the free
speech of workers.

MORE: In taking down that tent,
union thugs willfully endangered lives:
As the union members attacked the Americans For Prosperity tent, a woman
cried out “there are people under there, oh my God” (at 1:20). At 1:40, as
union members start walking on top of the collapsed tent, a man shouted “hey,
there are people in there” but again the crowd didn’t stop, and the union
members continued walking on the collapsed tent defiantly as the crowd shouted
obscenities and cheered.
