"NEW YORK — The Koch brothers are spending millions to attack two vulnerable Democrats for voting against the Republican tax overhaul.
The Koch-backed group Americans For Prosperity plan to launch a $4 million advertising campaign against Missouri's Sen. Claire McCaskill and Indiana's Sen. Joe Donnelly. An AFP spokesman said Tuesday the ad campaign will run on TV and the internet for three weeks beginning Thursday.
The ads accuse the senators of "voting against tax cuts for you" and "standing with" Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer and Democratic House leader Nancy Pelosi "instead of us.""

Tomorrow the senate hears variations on RTW with SB 76and SB 134. These similar bills will be heard in the senateSmall Business, Insurance and Industry Committee at 1:00 p.m. in SCR 1, at the capitol.
Grassroots organizations, such as Missouri First, are encouraging attendance by voters who support RTW and they have published online witness forms for any interested proponents to submit to the committee.

Michigan spurns unions, and the middle class will feel it - baltimoresun.com

It's one thing to pick a fight with public employee unions in Wisconsin and quite another for MichiganRepublicans to take on all of organized labor, as happened with the "right-to-work" legislation that Gov. Rick Snyder signed into law Tuesday evening. Few states have a stronger union tradition, and the blow to the labor movement there could have ramifications far beyond Michigan's borders.

It's one thing to pick a fight with public employee unions in Wisconsin and quite another for MichiganRepublicans to take on all of organized labor, as happened with the "right-to-work" legislation that Gov. Rick Snyder signed into law Tuesday evening. Few states have a stronger union tradition, and the blow to the labor movement there could have ramifications far beyond Michigan's borders.
Whatever one may think of unions — and they've made their share of mistakes as surely as corporate executives have — the decision is certain to depress wages in Michigan. In states where unions can't require non-union members to pay dues (even as they represent them in contract negotiations or provide other benefits), workers tend to be paid less. They are also less likely to have a pension or employer-provided health care insurance.
It's not hard to understand why "right to work" is really "right to be paid less." It's the same reason nations don't make taxes optional to their citizenry and businesses don't typically let customers decide whether to pay for their goods or services. A dues-optional approach cripples the ability of a union to raise money and to look out for the interests of workers.
That is, of course, the point. Over the cries of thousands of angry protesters in Lansing, the GOP-controlled Michigan legislature meeting in lame-duck session rushed through the legislation, at least in part because legislators recognized that it cuts off a major source of Democratic campaign fundraising. The United Auto Workers alone gave more than $12 million to help re-elect President Barack Obama last month. Small wonder the bill was a high priority for Americans For Prosperity, the conservative advocacy group supported by David and Charles Koch.
