sub4hire -> Bush plans on taking away overtime pay to millions (4/7/2004 3:23:28 PM)
|
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.

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,
