“Senator Bill Nelson – Do Something for America’s Employees Rather Than To Them.”

“Support the Employee Rights Act”
Senate Bill Number S.1507.  House Bill Number H.R. 2810

Successful businessman, veteran and U.S. Senate candidate Craig Miller today penned an open letter to Senator Bill Nelson urging him to co-sponsor legislation for Employees Rights.

It reads as follows:

“The latest news about the Bankruptcy of American Airlines reinforces what we all know; that is it past time that the US Senate unites with the American people to standup for American Employee Rights. American Airlines is a huge contributor to the Florida economy with one of their largest international hubs is based out of the Miami International Airport. It is crystal clear to most Americans that our outdated labor laws stifle job creation efforts, trample employee rights, and make America’s workers some of the least competitive in the world. The Employee Rights Act is simple and straightforward.”

The Legislation Would:

* Guarantee Secret Ballot Union Elections
* Require Union Recertification Elections
* Provide for Paycheck Protection
* Require Standardized Election Timing
* Prohibit Decertification Coercion
* Require Secret Ballot Strike Vote
* Criminalize Union Threats

“Senator Nelson, join Senator Marco Rubio stand up for the rights of American Employees and Co-Sponsor The Employee Rights Act! Stop talking about how you are looking out for American workers and stand up for them. Senator Nelson, Do something for America’s employees, rather than to them”

Craig Miller began his restaurant career in the dish room as a teenager and rose to become a successful businessman, creating over 40,000 jobs at several well-known restaurant chains like Red Lobster, Pizzeria Uno, and Ruth’s Chris. He served as Chairman of the National Restaurant Association and was named Operator of the Year in 2007 by Nation’s Restaurant News. Miller is a veteran of the United States Air Force, having volunteered to serve in Vietnam in 1969. He is the father of three, a proud grandfather and resides in Winter Park with his wife, Susan.

War On Women Can Be Fought At The Polls

By Kim Carroll

Women have the power. They take their right to vote seriously and show up at the polls in greater numbers than men according to the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University.

In 2008, 60.4 percent of eligible female voters cast their vote versus 55.7% of eligible males. According to the same study, more women are registered to vote than men, 66.6 million versus 63.5 million. Maybe that’s why the “War on Women” has taken a front seat in this election…

The Interest Bomb Is Ticking

This post kicks off a three-part series about the crisis of spending, debt and deficits.

The next part deals with the interval between now and the inevitable arrival of the Minsky Moment, i.e. the unknown and unknowable time when an unsustainable economic phenomenon suddenly collapses.

Is Mack Campaign Getting Desperate?

By Tom Tillison

It’s a fair guess that Connie Mack has seen some recent polling that has gotten his attention.

As the week closed out, the rhetoric coming from the Mack campaign took on a rather fervent pitch. In a press release sent out Thursday, it made the claim that opponent George LeMieux has “endorsed raising Florida’s sales tax to a nation-leading 16 percent.”

Obama’s IPAB Death Panels Limit More Than Just Health Care Access

By L. Persona

Florida Democrats believe they can win a few Republican seats in Congress and are preparing a major offensive against several Republicans facing tough challenges this year. They believe that redistricting gives them a chance to offset the seats they are sure to give up.

However, the Democrats still fail to realize the albatross that ObamaCare places on their party’s efforts…

A Black Guy At The Dallas, TX Tea Party Rally

By Lloyd Marcus

A big well dressed black guy attended the Dallas, TX tea party rally with his white buddy. Both men missed my singing performance on stage minutes earlier.

I asked the black gentleman who had an impressive physique how often he worked out. He replied, “Everyday.” His white buddy said with a chuckle, “He thinks the Tea Party is racist.”
