Working families win! President Bush's overtime pay
cuts suffered a major setback today when the U.S. Senate
voted to block the overtime pay takeaway. We won this
first step because the Senate Democrats and a handful
of Republicans stood up to President Bush. They acted
because they heard your voice. Your activism made a
big difference--people like you sent hundreds of thousands
of letters, faxes and e-mails and made tens of thousands
of phone calls over the past few months. This victory
is ONLY ONE STEP forward. More action is needed now.

Now, the fight to block President Bush's overtime pay
cuts turns to the U.S. House of Representatives. Representatives
will be asked to vote on a similar measure--preventing
the Bush administration from taking away workers' hard-earned
overtime pay protections. Please take one minute right
now to send a fax to your representative, Representative
Jerry Costello, from
the AFL-CIO website.
