Speech #1100065742

The polling data is overwhelmingly on this one: Nine out of ten Americansincluding 91 percent of Democratsfavor the right to a federally supervised secret ballot election when deciding whether or not to form a union. The main provision in this bill is about as popular as poison ivy. which is why this was supposed to all be quiet. Incredibly. my good friend the majority leader has even indicated that he doesnt expect the bill to pass. Last week he was worried that some Republicans who are opposed to the immigration bill would vote for this bill just to delay debate on that one. He said such a move would be made out of pure spite. which could only mean that he doesnt expector wantthis bill to go anywhere. So what are we doing here?
