Huge Endorsement for Employee Free Choice Act

Let your representatives know that when they support the Employee Free Choice act, they also have the backing of the Communist Party USA!

YEAH!!!!!
Now your talking.
Here is my argument:
Secret Ballot Protection Act: A union and it's supporters campaign at a business trying to convince employees there that unionizing would be in their best interest. They pass out flyers, stage an informational picket or two.
The management of the company campaigns too. Their message is that unionizing would not be beneficial to the employees. Pro-employee grassroots groups do the same, educating their co-workers on why they believe unionizing is not such a good idea.
A vote date is set. A room is set aside where representatives of management, the union and a neutral third party (NLRB Representatives) witness the verification of ID's and that no one is intimidated or coerced by either side while voting. All employees who care show up and present identification acceptable to all parties. A ballot is given to each employee. On the ballot is two choices.

1. Yes, I want to be represented by XXX union.

2. No, I do not want union representation.

Once everyone has finished voting within the previously agreed upon time frame, all ballots are counted. If the majority of the ballots are marked yes, the union and it's supporters win. If the majority of the ballots are marked no, then the union packs its bags and goes home. A majority of employees have chosen not to be represented by the union.

The "Employee Free Choice Act" basically allows that the union mails or distributes postcards or "signature" cards that may or may not clearly state that by signing this card you are verifying that you want union representation. This signed card is a vote. Pro-union employees or union organizers can corner employees in a parking lot, restroom, break room, hallway, stairwell or outhouse and pressure or intimidate people to sign the card. They then turn the card in and if a number of signed cards are collected that represents a majority of employees, the management could be pressured into recognizing the union.
Do not think I or anyone else is so naive that this could possibly sound fair and not subject to fraud. People will abuse this. People will intimidate others or trick others into signing a card when given the chance to think about it for two minutes in the privacy of the voting booth they may make a different decision.
Now, switch the whole process around. Allow the management to distribute signature cards. Allow the pro-employee, pro-management groups to mail and/or collect signature cards in the same manner that the union is demanding. How would the words of our debate here be different?

In the United States of America, all parties present their argument, their side of the story. The people, YOU and I if we are responsible caring voters listen to these arguments, educate ourselves on the pro's and cons of the issue and we go to the polling place on voting day and we present our identification. We walk to the voting booth and we pull that curtain behind us and we make an informed choice in private.
Why would we possibly want to change this?

I support the Secret Ballot Protection Act,

Sometimes one has to start a little fire to get the crowd to gather. Looks like I poured gasoline onto this one! Is there a burn nurses in the house?

There is a madness to my method.
