Help the AFL-CIO kick some butt (it'll just take 1 minute, I swear)

[moggie12]

The AFL-CIO is going after the Wall Street firm and corporations behind Bush's Social Security propaganda effort. They've already forced one brokerage house (Edward Jones & Co) to withdraw from the mega-buck lobbying effort -- now they're after Charles Schwab.

Please add your name to this latest AFL-CIO petition:

Please help them -- they're one group that's getting results!



See this WP article for details about how the Wall Street firms and other corporations have been lobbying for years for "private accounts" and how the AFL-CIO is trying to fight back -- the Wall Street/corporate group is called the "Alliance For Worker Retirement Security"

15. Thanks for the help keeping this kicked, Lonestarnot

The AFL-CIO is one group that is really getting some results -- it's disgusting how the Wall Street firms and corporations are using their profits (made from making money off of us little folks!!) to aid in Bush's SS progaganda effort. (I hate Charles Schwab -- he's the moron the Bush folks used as the front man for that stupid dividend tax exclusion -- corporate insiders have made a mint off of that, reaping millions by selling shares and paying peanuts in taxes...)

14. This is really worthwhile -- please add your voice to this effort

The AFL-CIO has been very effective on exposing the corporate lobbying effort behind the plan to dismantle Soc. Security. The best way to stop this sham is to add our voices to the protest.

Thanks for your help...

17. But really, this is the kind of stuff that's effective

They already got one brokerage to back out of the lobbying effort. Don't you want to see Charles Schwab squirm????????
