…Mark Warner wants to strip workers of the secret ballot.

Former Virginia Gov. Mark Warner has refused to publicly affirm his support of the so-called “Employee Free Choice Act”. Fortunately for Virginians, Warner was caught on video affirming his support for a bill which would strip workers of their current right to have a secret ballot in elections to decide union representation.

Why won’t Mark Warner simply confess that he supports forced unionization and the abolition of Virginia’s Right to Work Law? His buddies in Big Labor aren’t ashamed of his kowtowing to their every whim. If they are not telling their members the truth about Warner’s stance on this key issue, why hasn’t Warner denounced them?

It’s all about simple economics. Mark Warner knows that many businesspersons who currently support him would run for the hills if he admitted the truth.

Jim Gilmore, on the other hand, supports the right of working Virginians to decide for themselves whether or not to have union representation AND whether or not to join a union. BIG LABOR doesn’t want this. They want to strip hard working men and women of their money by FORCING them to join unions.

It’s a simple matter of personal liberty… fairness if you like. The secret ballot is sacred in this country. Why should men and women be forced to choose for union representation with some union hack standing over their shoulder? If Mark Warner is elected to the US Senate, that is just what will happen.
