Here is the latest update on the actions of union goons in Michigan trying to stop the legislature and governor from enacting a right to work law in Michigan.

Gary,

I thought you'd like to know the latest developments in Michigan's battle to become the 24th Right to Work state. You can read the message I just sent to our supporters in Michigan below.

Now that union militants are shutting down schools to protest worker freedom, their true colors are showing. It's all about protecting their forced-dues power at any cost.

Please spread the word by forwarding this email to like-minded friends in Michigan and encourage them to call their State Representative, and if you can, chip in with a contribution of $10 or more to support our programs.

Sincerely,

Mark Mix

Subject: Union militants shut down Michigan schools

Dear gary,

We told you Big Labor would employ every tactic imaginable to kill the Michigan Right to Work bills, set for a vote in the House later today.

Yesterday President Barack Obama, never shy about paying back his union-boss benefactors, parroted Big Labor's talking points and campaigned against the legislation.

And now teacher union militants have staged "sick-outs" across the state to flood Lansing with intimidating protests.

The extreme -- but unsurprising -- tactic has shut down schools, forcing parents to adjust their schedules, and costing the taxpayers.

The move echoes what happened last year in Wisconsin when the legislature passed a government-sector monopoly bargaining reform bill.

In fact, the only thing Wisconsin's and Michigan's legislation have in common is Right to Work.

That's what so enrages the union bosses -- protecting the freedom for individual workers to decide for themselves whether they want to join or financially support a union.

With Big Labor going all-out to kill the Right to Work bill, it's vital you take action right away.

When the unions pile on this much pressure, no vote should be taken for granted, so please call your State Representative at once.

Urge your State Representative to vote for Right to Work today.

Time is running out!

Sincerely,

Mark Mix
