Obama’s Letter Promoting Elimination of Democracy
Posted on September 1, 2008

Any speculation that Barack Obama will suddenly find it in his heart to accept ages old democratic practices can be put to rest with a letter he recently wrote urging a company to eliminate the secret ballot of workers being solicited for union membership.
The Baker City Herald has the story of Beef Northwest, a food service company, that is undergoing union agitation. Employees of Beef Northwest are being urged to join the United Farm Workers union and Obama sent a letter in support of that initiative.
Some of the employees that want the union openly signed cards saying they want the union and want to eschew a secret ballot. Beef Northwest is maintaining that the “card check” vote is not legitimate and wants a secret ballot taken. For his part, Obama sent a letter against the ages old democratic process of the secret ballot.
Obama’s letter is dated Aug. 4, two days after the Oregon Farm Worker Ministry group, picketed a Whole Foods Market in the Portland area to put pressure on Beef Northwest owners to accept the cards collected by union organizers and to negotiate a union contract.
…Davies said he sees the Obama letter as an important document revealing the candidate’s willingness to substitute union cards for a secret ballot vote.
Obama stands against one of the oldest democratic practices in history; the secret ballot.
We are in for major anti-democratic actions by government if this dangerous man becomes president.

I have an idea. To highlight the anti-democratic nature of getting rid of the secret ballot, I propose this.
Someone in a state where ballot initiatives are fairly easy to get put on the ballot should start a ballot initiative to get rid of secret ballots for state and federal elections.
In other words, no longer will you have the privilege of going into a voting booth and voting anonymously. Your vote will be similar to “card check.”
Do this and you’ll see these same liberals pushing this card check start squealing stuck pigs.
What do you think?
Or eliminate voting by “present.”
Can’t you see that “The Anointed One” is only trying to eliminate that horrid chad problem? If that somehow infringes on the rights to an open and free secret ballot election, then the rights and freedom take a back seat.
“The Anointed One” knows that once a person steps inside the voting booth that the force ad coercion of union thugs loose their meaning. By using the cards, union thugs are capable of “standing over” a small employee to “ensure” a union vote.
If unions succeed at this destruction of rights, soon it will demand that all that is required to force a company to deal with a foul disgusting union is for the union to walk in and say it now represents the employees. The employees will not be permitted a choice. That would be fine to “The Anointed One”.
Thank GOD for Right to Work States. States where a man is not forced to belong to a crime infested corrupt union.
