The Socialist, Tom Harken, is calling for the lame duck Congress to violate the will of the people and take down the secret union ballot.

Yesterday, Senator Tom Harken (D-Iowa), suggested that the Socialist Democrats should move to legislate "card check" after they have lost the November elections but before they are escorted out of town on January 20th, 2011. That is what he thinks of the "will of the people."

The proposed legislation in question is called The Employees Free Choice Act. Currently, it is as dead as my first marriage. Understand that "card check," should it become the law of the land, would allow a union representative to enter a shop or factory, ask each and every worker in that shop to read and sign a card stating their preference for unionization and when he gets one card in the majority, the shop automatically becomes unionized . . . . . . no election, no secret ballot, just 6foot 8inch Bruno carrying a set of cards around the factory asking, "Hey, yous, I tink you should sign this card. Tanks."

Anyone every heard of George McGovern? One of the most liberal congressional figures to ever run for President ? Even he stated his opposition to this law. It is blatantly anti-Constitutional and gives entirely too much power to union organizers. Midknight Review does not believe this bill has a chance. Maybe an email or two is in the offering. -- jds.
