niankhsekhmetI recieved this in my email this morning. I am passing it along to the rest of you so that you can take action if you desire and let your voice be heard.

Dear Friends on Livejournal: (It WAS addressed to me, but I like to be inclusive!) ;-)
The U.S. House and Senate are meeting during July for the last three-week session before the Bush overtime pay take-away goes into effect Aug. 23. Action is urgently needed right now even if you've acted before.
After more than a year of lobbying with letters, faxes, e-mails and phone calls it comes down to this: will we be able to put enough pressure on senators and members of Congress to make them block the overtime pay take-away? The answer is up to us. If we act together we could make a difference.
Please take one minute right now to send a free fax to your member of Congress and senators by clicking on the link below.

Tell them to act to block Bush's overtime pay take-away. Potentially millions of America's workers—earning as little as $23,600 a year—will lose much-needed income they use to take care of such everyday needs as health care, housing costs and even food.
The final regulation that would take away overtime pay from millions of America's workers was issued by the Bush administration in April. Effective Aug. 23, employers may begin to reclassify their employees as exempt—denying them the right to overtime pay. That is why action right now is so important.

Here is a timeline of the upcoming fight to save overtime pay.
July 6-23: The U.S. House and Senate will meet to deliberate on several issues. During these deliberations there will be votes on the Bush overtime pay take-away. Please stay alert for the exact dates.
Mid-July: The Economic Policy Institute will release final analysis of new overtime pay regulations-predicting how many workers will lose their right to overtime pay effective Aug. 23.
July 23: U.S. House and Senate recess until September.
Aug. 23: Bush overtime pay take-away goes into effect. Employers may begin reclassifying employees as exempt.
