Help the AFL-CIO kick some butt on SS (it'll only take a minute, I swear)

[moggie12]

The AFL-CIO is going after the Wall Street firm and corporations behind Bush's Social Security propaganda effort. They've already forced one brokerage house (Edward Jones & Co) to withdraw from the mega-buck lobbying effort -- now they're after Charles Schwab.

Please add your name to this latest AFL-CIO petition:

http://www.unionvoice.org/campaign/schwab


Please help them -- they're one group that's getting results! Our only weapon against Bush's propaganda effort is to speak up: If millions of Americans take simple actions -- signing their names to petitions like this -- IT WILL HAVE AN EFFECT!!



See this WP article for details about how the Wall Street firms and other corporations have been lobbying for years for "private accounts" and how the AFL-CIO is trying to fight back -- the Wall Street/corporate group is called the "Alliance For Worker Retirement Security"

They staged a protest in front of Edward Jones & Co's headquarters and embarrased them into withdrawing from the lobbying effort.
