Huge win for working families. They couldn't get a constitutional majority to move the bill out of the house!!

Extremists in the Missouri House of Representatives are pushing for legislation that would hurt working families, importing a national agenda that faces bipartisan opposition in the state. Despite claims made by the proponents of the legislation, paycheck deception and "right to work" for less bills wouldn't help the states' workers and would limit their rights.

If you're in Missouri, call your state representatives at 888-825-1418 and tell them to oppose "right to work" H.B. 1770.

Last week, the state House of Representatives passed a paycheck deception bill, sending it to the Senate for approval. A similar bill passed last year but was vetoed by Gov. Jay Nixon (D), who has indicated that he would veto similar legislation if it came to his desk. The extremists in the legislature are seeking to go around the governor by making the issue a public referendum, a move that would no doubt be backed by a well-funded publicity campaign.
