Bush Vacations, Asks Americans to Work Harder for Less

While George W. Bush takes the entire month of August off in Texas, the Bush Administration is seeking to eliminate the right of more than 8 million American workers to receive overtime pay. While Bush rests in Texas, millions of Americans are spending a sleepless summer worrying about their jobs, their paychecks and the economy.

At Howard Dean's BlogForAmerica site, you can sign a petition telling the Bush Administration that Americans deserve fair pay for more than a full day's work and to support efforts by Sen. Tom Harkin and others to protect overtime pay for Americans.

After you sign the petition, you can follow the link to the AFL-CIO website and stand up with workers all across this country by sending a message to Congress to stop this Administration's attack on America's workers.

You thought Florida had problems? Just wait...... There's an interesting article in today's New York Times on high tech ballot boxes.

"To Register Doubts, Press Here" by Sam Lubel http://www.nytimes.com/2003/05/15/technology/circuits/15vote.html?8cir One paragraph in particular stuck out for me: "Mike Kernell, a longtime Tennessee state assemblyman from Memphis and a technology enthusiast, is concerned about future elections because the new machines are harder to get a look at. 'We used to be able to check the machines and see if they'd been tampered with,' he said. 'It is now almost impossible.' Mr. Kernell wonders whether he will have to hire a computer programmer in his next race to make sure the machines are working smoothly and haven't been tampered with. 'We've hit a brick wall,' he said." Of
