From the National Right to Work Committee:
A Right to Work law guarantees that no person can be compelled, as a condition of employment, to join or pay dues or "fees" to a labor union. Such a law also reaffirms and strengthens the existing federal labor-law provisions that bar hiring discrimination against union members. Section 14(b) of the Taft-Hartley Act affirms the right of states to enact Right to Work laws.

From the NRA:
"Castle Doctrine" law does the following:
One: It establishes, in law, the presumption that a criminal who forcibly enters or intrudes into your home or occupied vehicle is there to cause death or great bodily harm, so the occupant may use force, including deadly force, against that person.
Two: It removes the "duty to retreat" if you are attacked in any place you have a right to be. You no longer have to turn your back on a criminal and try to run when attacked. Instead, you may stand your ground and fight back, meeting force with force, including deadly force, if you reasonably believe it is necessary to prevent death or great bodily harm to yourself or others.
Three: It provides that persons using force authorized by law shall not be prosecuted for using such force. It also prohibits criminals and their families from suing victims for injuring or killing the criminals who have attacked them. In short, it gives rights back to law-abiding people and forces judges and prosecutors to focus on protecting victims.
