Tell Congress: "Don't come home without protecting overtime pay." President Bush's threat to veto legislation protecting overtime pay is blocking senators and representatives from safeguarding your paycheck. Back-room maneuvering by the Bush administration and House Republican leaders has made it very likely that overtime pay cuts could go into effect as soon as January. Please send a fax to your senators and representative telling them not to come home without protecting overtime pay. Tell me more The message below will be sent on your behalf Subject: Dear [ Decision Maker ] , (Edit Letter Below) I am outraged to hear that Congress may come home for the holidays without protecting overtime pay. The back-room deals cut by the Bush administration and Republican leaders are a betrayal to America's working families. I insist you stay in Washington, D.C., and work to protect overtime pay. Don't come home until you've done everything you can. Overtime pay is very important to working families. The extra money people earn because of overtime pay makes a big difference. For some it pays the essentials. For others it provides a way to send their children to college, to take vacations-the things you can do and every American should be able to do. President Bush is wrong to try to take away overtime pay from any worker. I urge you to oppose his efforts. This is one of the issues that I will use to judge your commitment to working families.
