How unfortunate is it that the Democratic Party has decided to overlook the best interests of working-class voters and eliminate democracy in the workplace?
Virtually every Democratic candidate this year, including Mark Udall and Barack Obama, are pushing for the passage of the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA), which is a massive handout to organized labor. EFCA would eliminate the private-ballot vote when unionizing a workplace and put in place a system where workers could be intimidated and pressured into signing petitions for unionization.
This system would allow union-membership — and thus union revenue from dues dollars — to soar nationwide. Those dues dollars would be funneled right back into the campaigns of the unions’ Democratic supporters.
Udall should join the 87 percent of Americans who oppose this legislation and support supervised private ballot elections instead of pandering to his union funders.

Ms. Dunn,
It is clear that the Democratic party has a vested monetary interest in Unionization. It should also be realized that they have a vested interest in increasing illegal immigration and passage of an amnesty bill. With these two elements, they can increase their voter base by at least 30 million individuals who by language barrier, cultural and religious imperatives would be predisposed to the Democratic party line. The one exception would be Roe vs Wade, and that is something that every American woman should be aware of, before she goes to the polls. If you are a one issue Republican voter, and you want to end abortion, vote Democratic.
