Gingrich Calls for De-Funding Labor Board 
------------------------------------------



Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is hoping to revive his campaign
following a fourth-place finish in Iowa. On Thursday, Gingrich
criticized Obama's recess appointments of three new members for the
National Labor Relations Board in defiance of Republican opposition.
Gingrich called for de-funding the board entirely.

Newt Gingrich: "The answer to an imperial president is a Congress that
stands on its own rights. And the correct response to what the President
just did will be for the Congress to zero-out and refuse to fund the
National Labor Relations Board."
