At first, this report from the Las Vegas Sun sounds as though conservatives have mostly won the fight against Big Labor to keep the Obama administration from stripping the secret ballot from organizing elections. They pushed hard on ObamaCare and appear to have lost that battle. No one in Congress has touched the Card Check bill as people grow more angry over employment losses. Unions themselves have slipped in standing with the American electorate to their lowest level of support ever recorded. With their political power waning, conservatives have focused more on the ObamaCare debate and the lack of action by Democrats on the economy.
However, deeper within this report lies a new strategy by the unions to use the latter to get its Card Check legislation out of Congress (emphasis mine):

One more Freedom gone if he gets this passed. NO CARD CHECK Next he'll want to monitor all cell phones............Oh ! thats right, he wants that also. These "thugs" have no respect for the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Gooubber Left/Progressives need their BUTTS kicked back to Chicago. We've got a good start......November 2010 and then 2012. Hopefully is will be another 125 years or longer before Progressives can surface again. TAKE THIS COUNTRY BACK! Put "WE THE PEOPLE" back in this government.

Well this ape is forced to give the unions something, they are getting very angry with him for talking to republicans. Pretty soon he'll have everyone mad at him.

This bill is to establish another slush fund to buy votes. This administrations specialty.

Ken123, you are precisely correct. It' s all about control, power and staying in office. We've seen these crooks buy votes in Louisiana and Nebraska. Nothing has changed. They take our tax dollars and do whatever the hell they want to stay in office. Wait until November when the tsunami hits them; they won't know what the hell happened.

Card check is another step towards communism.

I am sure any SPENDING bill will be chocked full of other BS riders, SPENDING is Spending by any name you call it. Government consumes wealth, People create it.

A "jobs" bill is just more "stimulus" waste fraud corruption anyway. Just vote NO.

The American people should have learned by now that whatever the Democrats do cannot be visible or above board--because their entire agenda is rotten to the core. If they exposed what they're really planning, the American people would be outraged. They have to lie, cheat, sneak, scheme, bribe, threaten, and intimidate to get anything done. This is the Chicago way. This is Obama's way of doing business with the taxpayer money. This is the change they hoped for.

if it could, doesn't that also mean it may not?

If the jobs bill contains card check...it's quite possible the next "gathering" in DC will contain guillotines!

It is very important - URGENT - to remind both your Senators and Representatives to vote against any legislation that establishes "card check".

SEIU and ACORN have clearly violated the R.I.C.O laws.
Eric Holder will continue to protect the conspiracy because the democRats need them to corrupt the next two elections.
