1. Loved it! American rights at work letter

I didn't know of Colbert until I got on the DU.



We recently told you that the Bush-appointed National Labor Relations Board is poised to issue decisions that could strip millions of workers of their right to have a union at work—all without holding public hearings. "The Word" is spreading...

Last night on Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report"—a show satirizing Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor"—host Stephen Colbert took on the National Labor Relations Board and the potentially disastrous impacts its rulings could have on workers.


You can also watch the segment tonight on Comedy Central at 8:30pm EST.

These workers should get a chance to speak out about a decision that directly impacts their lives and their freedoms. But the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is hiding behind closed doors and refuses to hold public hearings! If you haven't done so, ask Congress to demand the NLRB hold hearings on these important cases.

If you've already contacted your representatives, great! Thank you! Can you take the next step and ask your friends to do the same?

We hope you enjoy the video clip. Thank you for your support!

Sincerely,
