What’s The Matter With Kansas? Not Card Check

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009 by Admin

We’ve been following for a long while the progression of “card check” as an inside-the-Beltway issue into a key issue in Virginia’s gubernatorial race and on ongoing issue of contention in other state races.

The latest evidence comes from the race for the 3rd Congressional District of Kansas, where state Rep. Kevin Yoder has announced his candidacy because “We deserve an experienced leader who will stand up to Congress on job-killing policies such as ‘cap-and-trade,’ ‘card check’ and the government takeover of health care.”

Which may explain why U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appears to be signaling that her Members don’t want to have to vote for the card-check-carrying Employee Free Choice Act next year.

It will be interesting to see which demand wins in the push-shove battle: Pelosi’s realpolitik look or Big Labor’s hopes of a brighter tomorrow.
