RE: About that vote for Committee Chairman

Congressman Klein,

A few days ago the Democratic caucus in the House voted to oust Congressman Dingell and install Congressman Waxman as Chairman of a House Committee. The voting was by secret ballot.

Early in the next session the House will vote on whether or not workers will have recourse to a secret ballot when deciding whether they should join a union. [Incidentally, I have paid dues to 2 unions. How many have you belonged to?]

Will you vote in favor of a secret ballot – like you have – or will you vote in favor of an open ballot?

The courtesy of a simple answer – Yes, you are in favor of a secret ballot or No, you are not in favor of a secret ballot – is requested.
