>Dear Working Families e-Activist:
>
>The Bush Labor Department has sent the final paper work to take
>away overtime pay from millions of working Americans to
>President Bush's top accountant at the Office of Management and
>Budget in Washington, D.C. This action means that the overtime
>pay take-away is imminent--the exact date is up to President
>Bush.
>
>We know the best way to stop the Bush overtime pay take-away is
>to raise awareness about this outrageous pay cut. We've won
>votes in the U.S. Senate and House when people have spoken out,
>but it hasn't been enough to stop the Bush administration yet.
>Millions of families are about to see their paychecks cut. What
>sort of family-budget choices will they have to make?
>
>The stakes are so high that it is important to deliver a message
>to millions more through TV advertisements. To put these
>advertisements on the air, we need to raise money this week
>before Bush finalizes the overtime pay take-away. Please take
>one minute right now to make a donation to support the TV ads by
>clicking on the link below.

>This ad clearly explains what President Bush's overtime pay
>take-away would do to millions of people. Our goal is to force
