‘Nakedly Political’ Lawsuit May Head to Supreme Court

The Freedom Foundation has become Public Enemy No. 1 to government employee unions.

Union bosses have done everything they can to keep members in the dark about their right to opt out, but the Freedom Foundation continues its outreach campaign.

And the truth is spreading like wildfire.

The Freedom Foundation is directly responsible for more than 50,000 people leaving their unions on the West Coast during the past nine months. That means tens of millions of dollars – every year – that won’t go to unions to be spent on their destructive political agenda.

Through government building canvassing, door-to-door visits, direct mail, email, phone calls and now even text messages, government employees are learning they can leave their unions – and they’re telling their friends.

The Freedom Foundation’s online opt-out guide, www.optouttoday.com, is being shared all over the West Coast – such that it’s even been blocked from government computer servers.

The unions are fighting back, and they fight dirty.

They’ve tried scaring Freedom Foundation employees. They’ve stormed our offices and harassed our canvassers.

They’ve tried legislation to block our outreach efforts. And they’ve called on friendly attorneys general to tie us up in court and block us from exercising commonly used First Amendment rights.

We won’t stop, because the mission is too important. This short video explains why we’ve appealed a Washington court ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court – because it impacts us all.

Vice President of Communication and Federal Affairs
Ashley Varner brings a variety of public affairs experience and a tough skin to the Freedom Foundation team. Prior to joining the Freedom Foundation, Ashley spent many exciting, turbulent and wonderful years as a media spokesperson and state government liaison at the National Rifle Association. Following her tenure at the NRA, Ashley joined the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), where she worked with state and local lawmakers across the country on a diverse set of policy and communications issues. A grassroots activist from a young age, Ashley joined her first of many political campaigns before graduating high school and organized protests across the street from her own professors at the University of Missouri. When not rabble-rousing against Big Government, Ashley enjoys cooking, mafia movies, and has seen most of the 1970s and 80s classic rock bands still on tour. She loves the Chiefs, hopes someday she can love her Mizzou Tigers again, and she was a Kansas City Royals fan and Patriot Act opponent before either was cool.
