Save Autoworker Jobs! Your urgent help is needed to help save the millions of jobs that are connected to America's auto industry. Allowing America's auto industry to fall into bankruptcy punishes workers and retirees for past management misjudgments, and would be a disaster for the country - especially in this deepening economic crisis. Congressional leaders have said they will consider emergency assistance to the domestic auto industry. But a new vote will be required, and we must continue to build support to save jobs. You can take action at: http://www.unionvoice.org/campaign/autoworkers/5sxwn2h7t38nkt? >From Nov. 24 through Dec. 7, most lawmakers are back in their home states or districts, meeting with constituents. The following week, December 7-13, groups across the country are mobilizing for a "People's Bailout" (http://www.unionvoice.org/ct/epaYzP11LcF-/) including an economic stimulus package, restoration of the middle class through collective bargaining, ending foreclosures and other measures to address the economic crisis. The American auto industry has been central to building America?s middle class. Preventing its collapse, and investing in its reform, should be an important part of a broader economic recovery program. Congress needs to hear from all of us - now. Without immediate government aid, one or more automakers could fail, costing millions of jobs, putting thousands of small and medium-sized businesses at risk, threatening health and pension benefits for retirees, and causing enormous damage to our economy.

Your letter will be addressed and sent to: Your Congressperson Your Senators ----THIS LETTER WILL BE SENT IN YOUR NAME---- Dear [decision maker name automatically inserted here], The workers, retirees and small businesses that depend on America's auto industry need your help right away. GM, Ford and Chrysler need an immediate $25 billion bridge loan to help them weather the current severe credit and economic crises. Without this assistance, these companies will run out of cash and be forced to cease all manufacturing and business operations. Allowing these companies to collapse would be an economic disaster. Congress bailed out Wall Street - it's time to put people first and focus on the Main Street economy, including investing in manufacturing jobs while encouraging a long-term plan for a revitalized and sustainable American auto industry. I urge you to vote for this greatly needed assistance. Thank you for considering my views on this critically important issue. ----END OF LETTER TO BE SENT---- Sincerely, jim pita This message was sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To modify your email communication preferences or update your personal profile, visit your subscription management page at: http://www.unionvoice.org/jobswithjustice/smp.tcl?nkey=5sxwn2h7t38nkt&; To stop ALL email from Jobs with Justice, reply via email with "remove or unsubscribe" in the subject line, or use the following link: http://www.unionvoice.org/jobswithjustice/remove-domain-direct.tcl?ctx=center&; nkey=5sxwn2h7t38nkt& This message has been scanned for malware by SurfControl plc. www.surfcontrol.com _______________________________________________ Marxism-Thaxis mailing list [email protected] To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis
