SIGN THE PLEDGE

"Ever work weekends because you need the money? Ever come in early because you're saving for your children's college or caring for your elderly parents?
The bottom line is, if you and your family count on the overtime pay you sweat and struggle to earn, I have bad news for you.

Let me give it to you straight: George W Bush thinks he can pay back his campaign contributors by picking your pocket - and the worst part is he thinks you'll just sit there and take it.

Show him he's wrong - show him he can't roll right over you and your families.

Join with me to fight President Bush's attempt to deny millions of Americans their hard-earned overtime pay.

On March 31, the Bush administration proposed changing the current rules that guarantee that workers must be paid time-and-a-half when they work for more than 40 hours a week. Under their plan, anyone making more than $22,100 a year could be denied overtime if they are classified as professional, administrative or executive employees.

If President Bush has his way, as many as eight million Americans - including fire fighters, police officers, paramedics, nurses, and store supervisors - will be denied the pay their families count on to put food on the table or save for college and a home.

Tell George Bush he's wrong - and warn him you're going to hold him accountable. Tell him that you're a patriot who knows that when our nation's security is at risk we depend upon our first defenders and it's wrong to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy on the backs of workers who are called upon to work harder and longer than ever before.

The paychecks of millions of workers are at stake. Join me to oppose President Bush's plan for lower pay, longer hours, and unpredictable work schedules. Let's demand that President Bush abandon his plan to gut our nation's overtime law."

3. Thanks for making it so easy

to sign the petition.

You know, a lot of policemen and fire fighters wouldn't find out about something like this if it were not for the internet. It is a great way to let the average person know what Bush's real agenda is.

10. not crazy or following you

I just don't understand your interpretation of the symbolism of armpit hair.

My armpits are hairy therefore I am (ignored). I just can't help the fact that it feels better to let that patch of hair be. To shave or not to shave my armpits? That is the question. Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer razor bumps or to be defined as a person with armpit hair.

I often ask myself: What would Jesus shave?

Its good that your bud warned you that people will remember what you have posted, he sounds like a good friend with good advice.
