Now Workers Should Have The Right To Join Unions. But Unions Should Not Be Forced Upon Workers. And Unions Should Not Have The Power To Take Money Our Of Their Members' Paychecks To Buy The Support Of Politicians That Are Favored By The Union Bosses.

And That's How It Is In America. We Look To Our Communities, Our Faiths, Our Families For Our Joy, Our Support, In Good Times And Bad. It Is Both How We Live Our Lives And Why We Live Our Lives.

The American Servicemen And Women Of The Guard And Reserve Leave Their Jobs, Their Spouses And Their Children To Wear The Uniform That Defends Our Country. This Selfless Commitment Should Be Honored By Businesses Across Massachusetts As We Work To Ensure They Are Treated Fairly While They Balance Their Employment Responsibilities And Obligations To The Armed Services. No Business Should Ever Put The Bottom Line Ahead Of America's Front Line.

Let's Take Energy, For Instance. I Understand That In Some Industries, The Input Cost Of Energy Is A Major Factor In Whether An Industry Is Going To Locate In The United States Or Go Elsewhere. So, When, At Bain Capital, We Started A New Steel Company Called Steel Dynamics In Indiana, The Cost Of Energy Was A Very Important Factor To The Success Of That Enterprise.

I Support The Work Of The Nra, But Disagree Sometimes.
