In these times of severe economic stress upon the middle class and the poor classes of our country, while the richest are becoming wildly richer, I beg of you to please support campaigns and legislation to correct the unfairness and to improve the distribution of economic wealth to those that properly deserve it.
It is the workers of America that need your help, and need it now.
We have suffered greatly for many years, it is time to turn this around in favor of the working people of America instead of the wealthy. It is time for the wealthy to payback what they owe the rest of us.
In recognition of Labor Day, here's a list of some of the current legislation in Congress affecting workers and businesses:
* H.R. 2, the Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2007. This act was passed by both the House and the Senate. It incrementally raises the federal minimum wage from $5.15 to $7.25 per hour, with the final stage taking place in July 2009.
* S.367, the Decent Working Conditions and Fair Competition Act. This act prohibits the "import, export, and sale of goods made with sweatshop labor"
* S.766, the Paycheck Fairness Act, "to provide more effective remedies of victims of discrimination in the payment of wages on the basis of sex"
* H.R. 2442, the Rural America Job Assistance and Creation Act, "To provide job creation and assistance"
* H.R. 2132, the Small Business Health Plans Act of 2007
* H.R. 1012, the Small Business Growth Act of 2007
* cap and regulate exorbitant CEO and other executive pay
Wall street needs to be cleaned up, and knocked back down into their place relative to the workers of America. The workers vastly outnumber the Wall street slick willys, why do we let them steal our wealth and power? It is time to stand up, and yell back at these narcisistic blow hards, and take back what is rightfully ours!!!
This is a small start, but it needs much more improvement.
Please help us, we are counting on you all!
What say you all?
