WASHINGTON, Nov. 9, 2011 /Standard Newswire/ -- "Public employee union victories in Ohio and possibly Michigan on Tuesday as well as the recall of a prominent opponent of illegal immigration in Arizona show that Tea Party-inspired wins are short-lived if not matched by continued activism," said Susan Carleson, chairman and CEO of the American Civil Rights Union.
"We believe in recall as a way to hold politicians more accountable," Carleson said. "But recall is a double-edged sword. This is a warning bell. The newly awakened conservative forces, including the Tea Party, must understand that sitting on the sidelines is no longer an option. Unions collect mandatory dues that they use to keep their benefactors in power, and those of us who believe in the right to work, the rule of law and other key aspects of economic freedom must work just as hard if not harder."
"Recall is a great tool to remove unworthy public officials, but when recalls target officials who are trying to do the right thing, those brave souls deserve grassroots support," said Robert Knight, ACRU Executive Director. "It's important to note that in Ohio, voters also overwhelmingly passed Issue 3, which rejects the ObamaCare individual mandate. The unions won a reprieve against Gov. Kasich's new law reining in public employee unions by spending five times as much as proponents, but citizens still won't swallow union-supported socialized medicine."
The ACRU has compiled the most comprehensive Website on recall, www.recalltherogues.org.
"We urge anyone who wants to know more about recalling public officials to check out our site," Carleson said. "It's the tendency of conservatives when they win a fight, to go home to their normal life, families and businesses, while the Left stays in battle mode, full-time. Tuesday's election should be a wakeup call to the Tea Party and others who want to restore America's freedoms by reducing taxes, regulation and defeating culturally destructive policies.
"As Ronald Reagan said, 'Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.'"
