Dear
AFGE Activist,
You work hard
everyday for America’s working families. It’s time
to make sure that your job, your service to America –
stays IN house instead of being contracted out. That’s why
we need you to contact your lawmaker about the CLEAN UP Act. The
CLEAN UP Act is AFGE’s job protection and creation plan.
It will bring contracted out jobs back in-house where they
belong and establish extremely tough rules for contracting out
jobs. The CLEAN UP Act (H.R. 2736) was introduced in the House
of Representatives yesterday, June 4. We need you to
contact your lawmaker, Representative Your
and ask them to co-sponsor the CEAN UP Act.

The CLEAN UP Act creates jobs by requiring
agencies to identify which jobs have been contracted out and
develop a schedule to bring those jobs back in house. It will
also protect existing jobs by banning new A-76 (contracting out)
studies until major reforms are enacted government-wide.
The CLEAN UP Act was introduced in the Senate (S. 924) on April
21st by Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) and now in the House by
Representative John Sarbanes (D, MD-3) on June 4th.

Subject: Co-sponsor the Clean Up Act
Dear [decision maker name automatically inserted here],
I am writing to urge you to become a cosponsor of The Clean Up Act (H.R. 2736). The Clean Up Act would make the outsourcing and insourcing processes more fair to federal employees and more accountable to taxpayers. The recently passed FY09 Omnibus Appropriations Bill requires agencies to develop insourcing plans to bring in-house new work and contracted out work and suspend the use of the OMB Circular A-76 process. The Clean Up Act would build on these and other precedents and:
1) ensure that work that should be performed by federal employees is incrementally brought back in-house;
2) encourage agencies to assign new work to federal employees rather than through yet another sole-source or limited competition contract
3) require agencies to determine where there are or will be shortages of federal employees and develop plans to address these shortages; and
4) direct the Obama Administration to make drastic, long-overdue reforms to the OMB Circular A-76 process; and suspend the use of that process until all of the reforms discussed above have been substantially implemented across the federal government.
It's time to put an end to the waste, fraud and abuse in the contracting out process. I would appreciate a response to my request. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
