Now, thanks to President Obama, he&#8217;s on the National Labor Relations Board.  <br \/>\nBecker is so radical on labor issues that the Democrat-controlled Senate REFUSED to approve his nomination!  Senator Ben Nelson (of &quot;Cornhusker Kickback&quot; infamy) even said Becker&#8217;s record indicates he will &quot;pursue a personal agenda.&quot;  <br \/>\nRemember the outrageous <u>Card Check <\/u>legislation President Obama pushed last year that would effectively take the right to a secret ballot away from Americans when they decide whether or not to join a union? <u>Well, Becker is going to try and use his position on the National Labor Relations Board to push it through without Congress<\/u>. This is just the latest instance of democracy denied &#8211; the administration&#8217;s continued push around Congress and the American people. Check out AFP&#8217;s <a href=\"wlmailhtml:%7b83DA4227-CE51-4ECA-A34F-D3B2440603E2%7dmid:\/\/00000062\/!x-usc:http:\/\/capwiz.com\/americansforprosperity\/utr\/1\/NJKJMHJGPK\/FAHEMHJGWK\/4936578221\" ><font color=\"#000080\">www.ObamaChart.com<\/font><\/a> to see how this fits together with other moves on Internet regulation, energy taxes and more. <br \/>\nActions like the recess appointment of Craig Becker drive home just how liberal and arrogant the Obama administration really is.  I just read an advance copy of Sean Hannity&#8217;s upcoming book entitled &quot;Conservative Victory: Defeating Obama&#8217;s Radical Agenda,&quot; which drives home this point with power and precision.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m glad someone with Sean Hannity&#8217;s intellect and energy has detailed exactly what we&#8217;re facing in taking on President Obama&#8217;s agenda &#8211; especially on the economic front.

On card check, we must urge Congress now more than ever to pass the Secret Ballot Protection Act to guarantee the NLRB, now with the SEIU&#8217;s Craig Becker on board, cannot deny workers their rights.
