Hi,

I just signed an important petition to help get our country back on track, and I hope you’ll join me.

In today’s economy, working folks like you and me need a fair deal and a chance to get ahead. But some CEOs just go too far. They rake in millions while cutting back health benefits and raises for their employees.

It’s outrageous, and it’s only getting worse for working families as the cost of everything from gas to groceries keeps going up.

It’s time to bring back some balance in this economy, and that’s why I signed a petition supporting the Employee Free Choice Act, which would help level the playing field by giving workers more power to demand better wages, health care, and working conditions.

Our goal is one million signatures. Will you take a moment to sign, and pass this along? Go to:
http://freechoiceact.org/WA

We’re all in this together. And this bill is a real opportunity for all of us, by giving workers more muscle to raise living standards, improve health care, and stop outsourcing. Please, help us get to one million signatures! It just takes one minute – be sure to upload your picture, too!
