em101,

Your profile says you are retired.

Why are you concerning yourself with overtime pay.

Too much time on your hands?

Have fun,
Phil

Dear Working Families e-Activist:

You did it! Together we were successful on Tuesday when senators
stopped a bill that failed to block the Bush overtime pay
take-away. Overtime pay protections had been removed from the
measure at the insistence of the Bush administration. This
doesn't mean we've blocked the Bush overtime pay take-away
yet--but we've sent a very powerful message to President Bush:
Hundreds of thousands of workers and bipartisan majorities in
the U.S. Senate and U.S. House oppose the Bush overtime pay
take-away. Please click below to act now or keep reading for
more information.

Unfortunately, President Bush and Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao
don't seem to be hearing us. The Bush administration stubbornly
insists on moving forward with this massive pay cut for millions
of workers.

We've also learned that the White House is once again BLOCKING
your e-mail comments. This is adding insult to injury. So we've
setup a special Web page you can use to SEND A FAX (it's free)
to President Bush expressing your opposition to his
administration's plan to take away overtime pay from millions of
ordinary working Americans. Please click on the link below and
take one minute right now to send a fax to President Bush
expressing your opposition to his overtime pay take-away.

The intentions of the Bush administration couldn't be clearer.
In testimony before the Senate on Tuesday, Bush Labor Secretary
Elaine Chao said, "I think enough time has been spent on delays
as well as studies and studies of all sorts on this issue." The
Bush administration intends to finalize the overtime pay
take-away as soon as possible--perhaps before March 1.

After you take action, the most important thing you can do to
turn up the heat is to spread the word about the overtime pay
take-away to your friends, family and co-workers. Please click
below to send them a note.

AMERICA WRITES BACK: The Real State of the Union

In Tuesday night's State of the Union address, President Bush
didn't mention his overtime pay take-away that will cut the pay
for as many as 8 million of America's workers. We've put
together a special Web page where you can share your thoughts,
feedback and comments with other members of this network. We'll
sort comments by state. This will be a great collage of voices
from all over America. Please take one minute right now to add
your comment by clicking on the link below.
