Dear Ben, I believe I owe it to you to write this letter. Why? Because Im told that youre one of a few special Americans who have sacrificed very generously over the years to strengthen our country and preserve our precious freedoms. But youve probably been discouraged by the fact that many of your personal goals for America have been thwarted by the tax-and-spend Members of Congress and the White House. Why have the proponents of Big Government so often gotten away with sabotaging your efforts? The reason is unknown to most Americans. Most Americans dont know just how much of Big Labors cash -- seized from workers paychecks -- is funneled back door into buying elections for the union bosses pet candidates. The union bosses political machine spent a whopping $1.7 BILLION in the 2012 election cycle to re-elect Obama and protect their pro-forced-unionism majority in the U.S. Senate. Now, the union bosses have vowed to use their forced-dues warchest to keep control of the Senate and take back the House, while most Members of Congress cringe in fear. Thats why I need your immediate help. Will you please consider a generous contribution of $500, $100, or even $25 or $10 -- whatever you can afford -- right away. The fact is, you and I have the tools to stop the union bosses in their tracks. Using a critical Supreme Court precedent won by the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, you and I must stop Big Labor from using workers forced dues to subsidize the union bosses bid to retain the Senate and take back their majority in the House in the 2014 elections. Thats why the Foundations team of experienced staff attorneys must stand ready to mount a tidal wave of new legal challenges against Big Labors illegal political spending racket. But this will require resources that the National Right to Work Foundation does not have. Thats why the Foundations President, Mark Mix, asked me to contact you today. There is no time to lose. The devastating effects of the Big Labor forced-unionism agenda backed by President Obama are clear: *** Runaway federal spending and a national debt of more than $16 trillion; *** Discrimination against non-union workers and businesses in hiring and contracts; *** Bailouts, bigger government and bloated bureaucracies; *** Out of touch regulations that strangle U.S. businesses. You and I cannot afford to let Big Labors far-left agenda prevail in 2014. But, let me explain the battle we face, and why the Foundation so urgently needs your help. As I mentioned before, Big Labor chieftains spent nearly two and a half billion dollars to help their pet candidates in the last two presidential elections. And virtually all of that union boss cash came from forced union fees that workers must pay or be fired from their jobs. Of course, this is spent as so-called soft money -- on expensive television attack ads, carefully targeted voter registration, literature drops, phone banks and get-out-the-vote drives. And this spending program is never reported to anyone. At every level of government -- from Congress to the state houses to city councils -- Big Labor is the muscle behind thousands of campaigns. Most outrageously, millions of employees -- under cover of law -- are illegally forced AGAINST THEIR WISHES to pay for this radical electioneering . . . or be fired. And virtually every penny goes to support pro-forced-unionism candidates who can be counted on to rubber stamp union boss demands -- on the full range of political issues -- throughout their terms of office. Union boss lap dogs. That is why the Supreme Courts Communications Workers v. Beck decision -- which Right to Work Foundation attorneys won and are working to enforce -- is so important to you and all Americans. Under this landmark decision, workers can cut off the forced union dues -- seized as a condition of employment -- used by union bosses to finance their radical political agenda. You see, before the Foundation-won Beck ruling was issued, union bosses spent forced union dues virtually without constraint. But when Right to Work Foundation attorneys proved that Communications Workers union bosses were using almost 80% of workers forced-dues cash for purposes other than collective bargaining, the court ordered the union to return the funds to the objecting workers. Union bosses fear that if Americans like you help Foundation attorneys fully enforce this critical decision in the courts, workers could yank hundreds of millions from Big Labors coffers. Thats why I am asking for your immediate help. With Big Labor gearing up for its all-out blitz to sweep the 2014 elections, you and I must act now. The stakes are enormous. If they succeed, they will work hand-in-glove with President Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid to keep rolling their agenda of more special privileges for Big Labor. Thats why I ask that you make your most generous, tax-deductible contribution of $50, $100, $250 or even $500 to the Foundation today. Some people have already given as much as $500 or $1,000. Others have given as little as $15 or $20. I urge you to participate in the only nationwide effort that directly attacks Big Labors illicit forced-dues political spending. Big Labor is the single most powerful political force propping up forced unionism. Thats why the National Right to Work Foundation attacks the very root of Big Labors power -- the forced payment of union dues -- which funds an agenda most Americans like you and I oppose. I dont know you well enough to know whether you can afford a gift of $100, $250 or even $500 to the Foundation today. Or if for you a lesser amount of $25 or $50 is a sacrifice. But I hope and pray you are the kind of American who will join me in this fight. So whether you can give $25 or $50 -- or $250 or $500 -- whatever you can afford, please be as generous as you can. Please act right away. Sincerely, Steve Forbes P.S. The National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation is preparing to go all out and directly attack Big Labors forced-dues political spending. Please demonstrate your support today by contributing your most generous, tax-deductible gift of $50, $100, $250, $500, or even $1,000.
