Bush is suppose to get rid of overtime pay!
Dear Friend,

President Bush is about to finalize changes in the laws governing overtime pay that could take away overtime protections from at least 8 million people. His changes will cut paychecks for families, erode the 40-hour workweek and encourage employers to require more overtime work. The changes include a new "military penalty" that would allow employers to use military training as the basis for cutting overtime pay.

Please sign the online petition opposing President Bush's overtime pay take-away by clicking on the link below.

We all need to get involved before these important workplace protections are hurt.

3. Overtime pay. That's one thing he never has to worry about getting.

6. If Bush was paid for the hours he actually works...
He'd make less than minimum wage.

That's not even a joke. Apart from attending meetings, I don't think the guy "gets involved" in the work of the country.
