1. Hey go for it Americans. I'm English so can't but i can't underestimate

the power of Unions. its raw people power. Its the only;y power you have against the corporations and against the big MNC's. Imagine if the whole of America was in a Union. You could fuck Bush right over.

Power comes from organisation. Organise and be powerful. Whatever profession you are in push for a union. It doesn't only cover work issues. Unions in this country have come out against compulsory ID cards meaning they probably won't happen.

Organise and become powerful

Viva la Union. Viva la people.

2. Thank you, bennywhale!

We in America have lost sight of the importance of banding together against economic interests not our own.

Thanks for the nudge.

4. Only $5 a year!! For what the working people get in return, this is

cheap!

5. And that's optional

I've been impressed with Working America.

They send you an action email about an issue that's of particular relevance to working people. They give you the background on the issue and, if you're registered with them, all you have to do is click a button, personalize a generic letter they've already written, and, poof, it goes out to your representatives.

It can't get any easier than that, and you don't even have to pay the 5 bucks if you don't want to.

6. I am now a member of a powerful force for working people.

Still sending them 5 bucks!
