CARD CHECK CONUNDRUM

OBAMUNISM. Folks I am telling you, especially those of you emotionally charged and filled with koolaid from the drive-by media; we are in a pickle. As a country - well, as far as the big blue states are concerned - we voted liberalism with a heavy lean to socialism into the highest office of our land. We will reap the "fruit" of this decision. While McCain may be whatever you may think, and certainly not my first choice, the foundations of America would not have been so heavily chiseled.

We need to wake up. I invite you to be a part of the live webcast attached below. It will fill you in on the mess that will befall our country if this priority to the unionist (see union labor article for info on the social agenda they hold). Come with an open mind that allows you to hear what is going on and intellectually decipher the code language and lies out in the media. Or the lack of information actually. Politics may have an emotional drive - otherwise, we wouldn't be interested and wouldn't accomplish much, but intelligence must lead emotionalism. Hand in hand they are a powerful force for good and evil. We need to use it for good...rational, common sense good.

MEMORANDUM TO: All local Oklahoma Chambers, Economic Development organizations and member Associations
FROM: Danna Fowble, CCM, IOMVice President, Federation/Grassroots Development
SUBJECT: Free National Webcast on The Employee Free Choice Act or “Card Check”
DATE: March 1, 2009

As you may know, The State Chamber has been engaged in a multifaceted advocacy campaign on the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) also known as card check. We have been working with a number of partners to ensure this bill does not pass in the congress.

Card check is regarded as organized labor’s top congressional legislative priority for 2009, and President Obama has pledged to sign the bill if it reaches his desk, paving the way for increased unionization of businesses without employee secret ballots, government imposed “fast track” union contracts, and punitive damages and penalties for companies, but not unions. The State Chamber is inviting you, your members and your community – whoever you can round-up – to join a very important national EFCA Webcast, Wednesday, March 4.

WHEN: March 4th, 2009, 12:00 Noon to 1:00 p.m. Note: The Webcast requires the capability to listen to audio through the computer viewing the Webcast, whether through internal or external speakers.
