In the NewsHealth Care Reform is Coming!
We need real reform, including a public health insurance plan option! This option will bring down costs, force the insurance companies to compete and guarantee that secure, high-quality coverage will be there for working families no matter what happens. Help ensure that health care works for everyone by reading more and signing the petition to support the public health insurance plan option and oppose taxing health care benefits. |

Jobs on Line One
More
than half of all nonunion workers in the United States�nearly
60 million people�say they would join a union right now if they
could. But not enough workers get this chance, because the deck is
stacked against people who want to join unions. We don't think that's
right. That's why Working America went to Arkansas and collected
10,000 handwritten letters asking Sen. Blanche Lincoln to vote for the
Employee Free Choice Act. We delivered them to her office so she'll
know to "look out for the little man," as one letter-writer
urged, by voting yes on this important bill.
