Crossroads GPS :60 Radio II ?Deal? Annc: She?s Nancy Pelosi's at it Trying to raise taxes while our economy On New Year's Day, taxes skyrocket for everyone unless Congress acts. Even low- income families will see their tax rates increase by 50 percent. But Nancy Pelosi is blocking the bipartisan plan to stop these tax hikes. Her reckless ploy could bring back the marriage penalty tax, and hike the death tax on family businesses, farms and savings. And whose side is Congressman XX on? Will he (she) side with Nancy Pelosi to raise job-killing taxes, or with struggling families and small businesses that can create the jobs we need? After two years of bailouts and wasteful spending, enough is enough. Call Congressman XX at Tell him (her) to stand up to Pelosi and demand a vote. It?s time to cut spending, NOT raise taxes.

This bill would repeal the requirement that federal, state. and local governments begin withholding 3 percent on invoices when those governments buy most goods and services. If this requirement is allowed to go into effect as scheduled, the requirement will drain productive capital out of the economy, impose needless administrative burdens on all levels of government. and cost jobs by hindering our economic recovery. Pass ng HR. 674 will put money 3 in the hands of America's job creators so they can invest and grow and hire Americans who are looking for work. Our economy is better off with private citizens empowered to make their own purchasing and investing decisions, rather than having government absorb more and more of our resources. There is widespread recognition that repealing this withholding requirement will benefit the economy. State and local governments support repeal, as does a broad coalition of job-heavy businesses nationwide. HR. 674 has 269 cosponsors and was passed out of the House Ways Means Committee on a voice vote. Indeed. even President Obama's stimulus package would delay the requirement. i Finally. as a needed response to widespread public anxiety over our nation's economic future, passing HR. 674 would show the American citizens that Members of Congress can put partisanship aside and advance a commonsense measure that will aic our economic recovery. Crossroads GPS supports that goal and urges quick passage of this legislation. Steven J. Duf?eld Policy Director Crossroads GPS AH-I 2311 21.1H32. wan-r. pros-5r: a:sgp:.crg This document was obtained and uploaded by the Center for Res onsive Politics (OpenSecrets.org) 'rom: issuedirections issuedirections sent: Wednesda November 09, 2011 6:01 PM To: Subject: Crossroads GPS Urges Passage of S.J. Res. 6 and .J. Res. 27 Crossroads Grassroots Policy Strategies (GPS) is urging "yes" votes on S.J. Res. 6 ("net neutrality") and S.J. Res. 27 ("cross-state pollution") when the Senate considers each measure on Thursday. November 10. These resolutions would essentially block regulatory overreaching by he Obama Administration that would cost American jobs and empower government bureaucrats at the expense of job creators. As President Obama has signaled his intention to go over the heads of th legislative branch to exert government control over broad swaths of free enterprise, it is essential that Congress assert its 3 legislative and constitutional prerogatives by opposing such regulation . S.J. Res. 6 would disapprove the Federal Communications Commissi n's "net neutrality" rule that is designed to regulate the Internet and the practices of the broadband i dustry. The FCC's rules will sti?e innovation and make it more dif?cult for American entrepreneurs grow and create jobs, while . giving Washington regulators the power to micromanage this transfor ative sector of our economy. The Internet has flourished as a force for freedom in large measure be ause the federal government has played a relatively small role in terms of regulation. Obama Administration's "net neutrality" regulations would put government at its center, and thi counterproductive, Washington-centric approach must be rejected. S.J. Res. 27 would disapprove the Environmental Protection Agency's rule relating to air pollution that migrates over state lines, requiring 28 states and the District of Columbia to reduce power plant emissions. The most immediate effect of this new requirement will be to force the closing of coal- ?red power plants and the destruction of American jobs. Moreover, ?an the EPA admits that the rule will increase national electricity prices. This is yet another example of this Administration's assault on American coal and indifference to the economic effects of its ideological agenda. it is essential that Congress put the brakes on an out-of-control EPA and protect the jobs and pocketbooks of American citizens. Crossroads GPS strongly supports congressional efforts to rein in the Obama Administration's aggressive regulatory agenda. Passing these resolutions of disapproval also will be a positive ?rst step toward greater accountability. Steven J. Duf?eld Policy Director Crossroads GPS mum.?

November 30. 2011 7:16 PM To: subject: Crossroads GPS Urges Congressional Action against Obama "Ambush Election" Rule Crossroads GPS Urges Congressional Action against Obama Ambush Election" Rule Pro-Union Rule Will Promote Back-Door "Card Check" Organizing Crossroads GPS president and former deputy secretary of labor Steven Law called on Congress to undo the Obama Administration's unprecedented labor law change to allow "ambush elections" in union certi?cation drives. This rules change was rammed through today by a partisan faction of the National Labor Relations Board. The new "ambush election" rule is designed to minimize the gap between coercive "card check" organizing - which was rejected on a bipartisan basis by Congress two years ago - and virtually instantaneous ballot elections. This will enable unions to use card check organizing and demand elections while limiting the ability of employers to communicate with their workers. The rule also restricts the rights of workers and employers to raise issues of union sconduct and fraud prior to a binding election. Crossroads GPS believes that employees should have an opportunity to hear all sides of the unionization issue and make informed decisions as to whether they want to unionize. No employee should be forced into such a vote without full information, and no should be denied the opportunity to share its perspective with its own workers. Thus, the newr Obama Administration rule is simultaneously anti~worker and anti-employer - while the only winners are the union bosses who will return the favor by spending hundreds of millions of dollars of workers' hard-earned wages on politics. Crossroads GPS joins other pro-worker and pro-employer groups in urging Congress to oppose the Obama Administration's latest assault on job creators and economic recovery. In the months ahead, Crossroads GPS will add its voice to others in urging Members of Congress to stand forjobs and growth instead of President Obama's relentless regulatory attack on our economy.

President Obama nominated Mr. Cordray last summer, but the nomin ion failed to advance in the Senate because he lacked suf?cient support. Conservative Senators bjected to the nomination because, as Senator Richard Shelby explained, it would be wrong to 9 ve "unfettered authority over thousands of American businesses" to a single director. Instead, sen ors sought to give the CFPB the same kind of accountability that other ?nancial regulators have so hat an unelected bureaucracy could be kept in check. Senators urged the president to ork with them to provide the proper transparency, but President Obama chose to empower a singl bureaucrat rather than modify the law to protect the American people. i This appointment. made during a brief recess of the Senate, also sub erts decades of constitutional understanding, as appropriately de?ned and understood by the execurve and legislative branches of government. Democrat and Republican Senators alike long have areed that the Constitution does not permit this kind of appointment during a short Senate recess which is why no president has attempted such a reckless power grab in more than sixty years. 3 recently as 2007-2009, President George W. Bush rebuffed calls that he make recess appoin ents during short recesses such as the one in effect today. It is dismaying that the president wou ignore the considered constitutional judgments that past presidents have long respected. A responsible and prudent path would have been to negotiate a solution to the impasse with . senators of both parties rather than to attack the balance of power between the branches and throw i out decades of constitutional precedent. That President Obama chose to place his personal considerations ahead of the Constitution itself is a bad omen for the re mainder of the 2012 legislative agenda.

Privacy to Promote More Unions LE Crossroads GPS strongly opposes the National Labor Relations Boar?s plan to force employers to provide the email addresses and telephone numbers of non-union em loyees to labor unions to allow organizers to harass workers about unionizlng. The NLRB's latet union?boosting measure would be an unwelcome violation of employee privacy and should be rejected. Under 43-year old NLRB precedent, employers must provide their em: loyees' home mailing addresses only when a union organizing election has been scheduled. In June 2011, the NLRB proposed a rule to require the disclosure of e-mail addresses and telephone numbers as well. In an interview with the Associated Press yesterday, President Obama?s hand-picked NLRB Chairman, Mark Pearce, said that he would renew his push for this new rule. Crossroads GPS opposes this further intrusion into American workers? privacy. The rule would require employers to turn over their private information without regard to whether workers consented to the disclosure. This would violate core principles of disc osure and consent that, for example, prompted Congress to create the enormously-popular Do th Call List. Americans do not want to be harassed on the phone, by email and at home. Indeed, the US. Supreme Court has said, "Many people simply do not want to be disturbed at home by work-related matters." United States Department of Defense v. FLRA, 510 US. 487, 501 (1994). Current law is more than adequate to enable unions to communicate with employees without 3 violating their privacy. Unions can send employees mail, set up websi es, use social media such as Facebook and Twitter, and engage in a wide variety of advocacy tacti that respect individual autonomy. Technology gives unions far more opportunities to commu icate with employees during an election period than ever before, but the spread of technology nee not strip Americans of their personal privacy. That means unions shouldn't be empowered to pho employees against their will, spam them with unsolicited emails, and force them to receive (an possibly pay for) unwelcome text messages. The risk that this rule will cause Americans to be harassed in their ho es is especially poignant given the widespread evidence of corruption in certain unions. Non-u ion employees can justi?ably fear that union advocates will misuse their private information, but un er the NLRB's rule, they would have no right to opt out of such invasive, government-mandate data-sharing. The NLRB, already operating with a constitutionally-questionable quo um due to President Obama?s "recess" appointment ?asco, should shelve this effort immediately. A if they don't, Congress needs to step in to protect the personal privacy rights of workers and heir families.

Obama's overreach burdens U.S. recovery i By Douglas Holtz-Eakin, American Action Forum and Steven Law, Crossroads GPS The Hill February 14, 2012 "If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving subsidize it." Barack Obama was just 25 when President Ronald Reagan uttered those me orable words, but he evidently took them literally. President Obama has set a new standard or boundless government hyperactivity: taxing job creators, over?regulating domestic energy, an subsidizing economic failures like When Democrats controlled Congress, President Obama grew govern ent the old-fashioned way. He raised taxes on tanning beds, medicine and medical devices as a warm up, and then turned to the $500 billion tax hike included in his healthcare bill. These taxes are literally loss leaders compared to his oversized budget plans. With four consecutive years of trillion-dollar de?cits. a budget written in red ink for the next decade, and no plan to tame the entitlement juggernaut, the real taxes hikes have yet to arrive. When his legislative hammerlock was broken, the president moved from taxation to regulation. In Obama's eyes, Congress has changed from a superhighway to a spee :l-bump.

But because of Cordray's new rule, we estimate that roughly 4,000 employees I will be needed to comply with its papenNork requirements. This brings a whole new meaning to shovel-ready. This is just one rule and one particular industry. The aggressive regulatory agenda of Obama's Environmental Protection Agency hit closer to Main Street and factory ioors. The EPA recently ?nalized new rules for coal power plants which even the agency admits; could cost 39,000 jobs. Layoffs are already on the way. First Energy Corporation announced that it plans to close six power plants in Ohio, Maryland, and When President Obama visits those states in the fall, he won't be able to blame Congress. His administration took action wit 'lOUt a single vote of Congress. President Obama has exercised unilateral executive power in the labor arena as well. When even a Democrat-run Congress couldn't deliver enough votes to pass union-boosting "Card Check" legislation, his administration began pushing regulations to appease his union base rather than help the U.S. economy. Since last fall his appointees at the National Labor Relations Board have moved briskly on rules giving unions an upper hand in abbreviated representaiion elections, forcing employers to advertise unions to their workforce, and giving union org nizers access to workers' private phone numbers and email addresses. Who bene?ts? Obama's union allies. Who pays? Job creators and workers who want to be left alone. a The president's political plans don't require a robust healthcare industry, so he taxed and regulated it. They don't include domestic energy producers, so he overregulated fracking, coal and offshore drilling - and shut the door to thousands of good-paying jobs with the Keystone XL pipeline project. i But given the power to target subsidies to friends and supporters, President Obama has been happy to shower his alternative energy fantasies (and investor-donors] with billions of taxpayer dollars. didn't "move," so he subsidized it. Now, and other "green energy" business schemes aren?t moving at all, much like the U.S. economy. Tax, regulate, and subsidize - that's how you grow government, not the economy.

Environmental questions have been asked and answered by the State Department, which concluded that the project would be far safer than domestic pipelines. It is also important to remember that the Obama-Ied foot-dragging on Keystone XL flies in the face of its bipartisan and diverse support, especially from labor organizations. For example, Mark Ayers of the has said that "it is America's workers who are clamoring for the expedited approval of this important project."
