Business Fighting Back

It seems the American businesses are finally fighting back. The US Chamber of Commerce, apparently fearing a filibuster proof Democrat majority in the Senate, is involved in several races, some where they are the only help under funded GOP candidates have.
An article by Kimberly Strassel in today’s Wall Street Journal gives the details. Strassel says:

One example of where the Chamber has a problem with Democrat plans is the card check legislation. That plan allows unions to strong arm workers into signing cards to bring in the union, bypass the secret ballot process. Here’s an example of what the Chamber is doing.
