Tell President Bush and Congress to turn back Bush's overtime pay take-away.

New rules on overtime pay went into effect Aug. 23, 2004. Some 6 million people are expected to lose their right to overtime pay because of George Bush’s overtime pay take-away.

Don’t let the Bush administration and its allies in Congress get away with this massive pay cut for working families. Sign our new petition, speak out today and remember in November.

Background Information

Beginning Aug. 23, 2004--thanks to George Bush and his allies in Congress--employers can reclassify some 6 million workers as ineligible for overtime pay.

This massive pay cut for working families cannot go unchallenged. It's up to us to make sure the Bush administration and its allies hear the voices of millions of working people opposed to this outrageous pay cut.

Please sign this new petition today to let President Bush and his allies know you will remember in November. Then let your friends, family and co-workers know what is going on and ask them to sign the petition.

We need to make sure our voices are heard!
