Dear Working Families e-Activist:

Strong-armed by President Bush, members of the U.S. Senate last
week backed off a filibuster against this year's government
spending bill they were holding up because it failed to block
the Bush overtime pay take-away. Bush had threatened to veto the
bill if it included an overtime pay protection guarantee for
America's workers, even though both houses of Congress voted to
block the overtime pay cuts in earlier votes. The Bush Labor
Department is expected to announce an implementation date for
the overtime pay take-away before March 1.

We CAN win protection for overtime pay and good jobs if your
voice is amplified by the voices of millions of other Americans.
So today we're asking you to bring more people into the fight to
protect overtime pay. We're ramping up the Petition to Save
Overtime Pay with a new push to collect signatures and ask new
people to join this fight. Please click on the link below to
sign the petition if you have not yet signed it.

It looks like the Chimp is hell bent on having his way with this,but at least we should make all the noise we can about it.
