NFIB endorses Dole
The National Federation of Independent Businesses endorsed Republican Sen. Elizabeth Dole in her re-election campaign versus Democratic state Sen. Kay Hagan today.
This isn’t a huge shock, but I was a bit surprised to hear both Dole and NFIB state director Gregg Thompson talk about union activity prominently in their presentations. In particular, both took aim at the card check bill, which would do away with secret ballots for creating local unions.
“It’s a very scary piece of legislation,” Thompson said.
During her talk, Dole said, “I stand with you to oppose give-aways to union bosses, such as the card check bill.” Here’s about a minute of her talk:
Update:I noticed the video audio was on the poor side, so click here for the full audio of Dole’s talk made with a mic not tacked on as an afterthought to my camera.
Here's a picture of Dole speaking with Rep. John Blust on her way in:
