Government Encroachment On Your Freedom Cloaked as "Free Choice"

Any time we catch wind of some new proposed legislation it should be funneled through a filter of "will this result in more government involvement or less government involvement"? Cases in point in the media in the last couple of days: (1) the State of Connecticut proposes a subtle seizure of control of the Catholic church by forming a secular "board" which would govern the church's actions. Whoa! Anyone of any faith should be paying close attention to this one! and (2) the "Employee Free Choice Act" which is really anything but; it is a brazen move by democrats (who were solidly supported in their election by union groups) to remove the process of a private vote for or against the forming of new or joining existing unions! Next thing you know we will accompanied by "assistants" from the different political parties to the polling place and into the booth so we don't make a mistake casting our vote! Or Guido will move his trench coat to reveal his "piece" to help you decide which way to vote.

It is not just the economic impact the "card check" legislation would have, i.e. prices on consumer goods would increase across the board, but the erosion of individual freedom! This is where it is so scary. Even if union matters do not affect you personally, don't let these weasels poach the liberty of others. Next time the government may come after you.
