Don't forget to write your representatives and senators!

 

Welcome

America works best when Americans vote and share their views with elected officials. But the percentage of eligible voters who cast their ballots continues to decline election after election. According to a study by Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism, 23 million Americans contacted an elected official over a two year period, but didn't bother to go vote. 
 
We think something needs to be done and believe that this resource is a step in that direction. These pages are designed to help you share your views with elected officials and give you the information and tools you need to make it to the polls and cast an informed vote.  Voter registration and absentee ballot information is available for every state.  
 
Throughout these pages we present information to assist you in becoming more involved in the electoral process.  But we don't - and won't - tell you how to vote.  That decision is up to you.

Contact your Senators to urge their support for S.J. Res. 36!

 

The Senate will likely vote soon on S.J. Res. 36, introduced by Senator Michael Enzi (R-WY), to cancel out the NLRB’s Ambush Election Rule.  The NLRB’s Ambush Election Rule denies employee access to critical information about unions and strips employers of free speech and due process rights.

The Ambush Election Rule is just another example of the NLRB’s assault on American workers and job creators, undermining our nation’s ability to grow and prosper. 

Act now to write your Senator and urge a supportive vote for S.J. Res. 36!

Support Efforts to Rein in the NLRB

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is committed to a culture of union favoritism that is hurting workers and employers.  Recent actions will empower unions to manipulate the workforce for their own gain, while restricting an employer’s right to communicate with their employees and crippling an employee’s ability to make a fully informed decision. 
 
In an effort to prevent the activist NLRB from imposing sweeping changes to our workplaces, Chairman John Kline of the House Education and Workforce Committee has worked diligently to enact H.R. 3094, the Workforce Democracy and Fairness Act.  The Workforce Democracy and Fairness Act forces the NLRB to change course and reaffirms protections workers and employers have received for decades.
