Now Is the Chance for You to Speak Out

Dear (Mrs. prisoner6),

In just a few days, Bush will give his State of the Union address, where he'll distort his record to paint the best picture he can for his reelection campaign.

But we know the real story.

Help us tell the real state of America's working families. Tell us your story about how your family, your neighbors, and your community have felt the sting of Bush's policies. Have you:

• Lost your job or seen local businesses forced to lay workers off?
• Seen healthcare costs skyrocket?
• Seen important services cut by state or local government?
• Been forced to pay higher college tuition?

Click here to tell us your story and we'll publish a compilation of the best ones on the web in a special report detailing the real state of America's working families.

We'll publish the stories anonymously and share them with Democratic leaders in Congress for use on the House and Senate floor during debates. Send your story today!

And be sure to click here to tell your friends or forward them this message!

Bush to Business: "Cut Your Workers' Pay!"

The Bush Labor Department suggested that American businesses cut workers' salaries as part of a list of advice on how to avoid paying overtime.

Millions of families rely on overtime pay to make ends meet, and President Bush's advice to employers to cut their pay is a direct attack on those families.

Click here to get the details about Bush's plan to cut pay for millions of families.

Bush Immigration Reform Falls Short

President Bush proved that he likes immigrants enough to allow them to be cheap labor, but not enough to allow them to become permanent residents or citizens.

Special Message from the DNC Women's Vote Center

George W. Bush's first act as President was to impose a global gag rule on women's health around the world. Now he's brought the global gag rule home! Bush and his right-wing allies have acted to criminalize a safe medical procedure; they are censoring information about family planning, and interfering with scientific research into women's reproductive health and HIV/AIDS.

We have to fight back, and send George Bush a message. Sign our women's health petition and we'll deliver it to President George W. Bush!

"Bush Immigration Reform Falls Short"

I agree. Every border crosser who survives deserves a brand new Chrysler every time they cross.

"publish the stories anonymously"

Hmmmm? You mean they're not going to have these people appearing on stage like Gore used to do. ROTFLOL!

[ETERNAL WARMING]

If the Republicans would do this, they'd win in landslides! But they won't because they are bought and paid for by the business lobbies. I'm voting for one of the FEW REPUBLICANS who recognizes the TRUE condition of it's citizens...Tom Tancredo!


SHUT THE DOOR IN 'O4 VOTE TANCREDO!

I see the DNC is hunting for testimony
to support their claims.

So, the claims are without merit.

But the DNC will dig up people willing
to attest to the lies anyway.

Isn't this the same DNC that took Millions
in campaign donations from the Communist Chinese
to help Bill Clinton win the presidency in 1996?

[goldstategop]

Terry McAwful's desperate for bad news.

[scan58]

Their just hunting for money. Notice how all your personal information is in *Required fields. Your testimony is only secondary.
I cannot tell a lie. While there were some lay-offs at our IT job, my husband and I - both - got decent raises last year. (We work at the same place.)
My daughter, who is in the medical profession, recently got a promotion and a raise.
I doubt the DNC would use my story.

[Joy Angela]

I see your point...

The DNC is pretending to reach out to "the people"
but all they really want is their money.

The testimonials are probably already scripted
and the actors cast...ready for the 2004 Election.

[sauropod]

Your tagline is quite true.

[cajun-jack]

I signed up for the DNC newsletter quite some time ago and i received this one today as well.

There is never any way to contact them or give feedback. They beg for money worse than a t.v. preacher.

We'll publish the stories anonymously...

That way they can make up stories and claim they are protecting the author's identity.

What's with the quote of the week?

"Unless you have a contract, there is no legal rule ... prohibiting an employer from either raising your salary or cutting your salary."
Tammy McCutchen, Labor Department Wage and Hour Division Administrator [Associated Press, 1/6/04]

They make no direct comment about it. This is a truthful statement and always has been. Perhaps they think a RAT in the White House [shudder!] would change this? I doubt it.

And the RATS took the quote out of context. She had more to say on this:

'Unless you have a contract, there is no legal rule ... prohibiting an employer from either raising your salary or cutting your salary,' she said, adding, 'We do not anticipate employers will cut people's pay.'

If I thought it would so any good, I'd email the RATS and ask them why they didn't include the whole quote.

That's not really a fair characterization. It's not like the DNC just "took" the money w/o compensation -- value for value. In fact The Rapist was far and away the more generous party in the exchange. China got missile guidance technology and nuclear weapons testing algorithms. They can now accurately land an ICBM on Los Angeles and be sure the warhead will explode; capabilities worth far more than mere millions of dollars.

I wonder what the DNC going to get "in value" if Hillary Rodahm Clinton wins the Presidency?

What's in it for the Democrat Party
if Hillary destroys America?

REPUBLICANS = The FREEDOM Party

Nothing less than America's FREEDOM is now at stake in this Presidential Election Year.

NOTHING.
