                  Dear Working Families e-Activist:

                  When was the last time the government cut your paycheck? That's what's going to happen to millions of workers because of President Bush's overtime pay take-away. Starting today, employers can reclassify some 6 million workers as ineligible for overtime pay. 


                   


                  We can't let this massive pay cut for working families go into effect without a major nationwide outcry. We need your help today to make sure the Bush administration and its allies in Congress hear the voices of millions of working people. We'd like you to do two things to mark this outrageous attack on working families. 


                  First, please sign a new petition to Save Overtime Pay and help demonstrate broad opposition to Bush's overtime pay take-away. Click the link below to sign the petition.

                  Some 6 million people could lose their right to overtime pay thanks to the Bush overtime pay grab. Every working person in America-and every voter-needs to know that President Bush is responsible. So the second thing we're asking you to do today is to let your friends, family and co-workers know what is going on and ask them to sign the petition. 


                  People are speaking out against this outrageous pay cut in many different ways. You'll hear from us very soon about more opportunities to make a difference for working families. We'll let you know how you can volunteer to help take back America for working families and what you can do to pressure Congress to repeal Bush's overtime pay take-away. 


                  Thanks for all you do. Together we'll remember in November. 


                  In Solidarity,
