The State of the Unions

Tonight on, "The Rachel Maddow Show," Ms. Maddow discussed the potentially controversial Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA.) If this legislation is passed, it will be easier for employees within a business to create and form unions. While Democrats support this bill, Republicans firmly oppose it. Senator John McCain even suggested the Act was anti-democracy and even, "dangerous for America." Some Republican politicians even see this as worse than the highly opposed stimulus bill and Obama's budget plan.

Isn't the freedom to organize unions one of the basic rights of an American? Are the Republicans catching on to something we don't see, or are they just overreacting to stand the ground of their party?

Are both parties going to be this finnicky for the next four years? Can't we all just get along?
