Dear Working Families e-Activist:

Last week, the Bush Labor Department sent the final paper work
to take away overtime pay from millions of working Americans to
President Bush's top accountant at the Office of Management and
Budget in Washington, D.C. This action means that the overtime
pay take-away is imminent--the exact date is up to President
Bush.

We know the best way to stop the Bush overtime pay take-away is
to raise awareness about this outrageous pay cut. We've won
votes in the U.S. Senate and House when people have spoken out,
but it hasn't been enough to stop the Bush administration yet.
Millions of families are about to see their paychecks cut. What
sort of family-budget choices will they have to make?

The stakes are so high that it is important to deliver a message
to millions more through TV advertisements. To put these
advertisements on the air, we need to raise money this week
before Bush finalizes the overtime pay take-away. Please take
one minute right now to make a donation to support the TV ads by
clicking on the link below.

Your contribution of $25, $50, $75, $100 or more could make
a big difference.

The AFL-CIO already has put together a television advertisement
about the overtime pay issue. If you have RealPlayer or
QuickTime player, you can view it at the link below or read an
illustrated script.

http://www.unionvoice.org/ct/Sd1a5h7171Hn/

This ad clearly explains what President Bush's overtime pay
take-away would do to millions of people. Our goal is to force
President Bush to withdraw his overtime pay take-away.

Please donate any amount:

After you've made your donation, please spread the word to your
friends, family and co-workers about this urgent appeal for
funds to support the TV ads by forwarding this e-mail.

SPECIAL: If you are not able to contribute, please help by
spreading the word about this important need to people who might
be interested or able to help.

Thanks for all you do.

In Solidarity,

will remind Gloria that there are two states in the Union that are still right to work states that being Texas and Florida and that should make clear Bushs stance on this iissue by looking at the state He served in long befor He became preszzz. I beleive in right to work over Union control. But then again Im a simplist too and have seen first hand how Unions have taken away jobs from the small local business person.

I don't really care about the overtime pay issue. Well I do, but it doesn't apply to me. All of my life I have been looking out for the underdog. This is merely one of those cases.

I merely dislike Bush. Being a former Gulf War vet myself. Well, I see no reason to continue killing people for the sake of oil. Yep, I know my views are opinionated. But how many of you served over there last time to know first hand what went on?

I also realize that in today's society we will never have a "good" president again. So we just have to muddle through with whatever gets elected into office.

I do like to point out evil when I see it though.
