New Goal: 20,000 Letters to Elaine

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

Since we first launched our “Shame on Elaine” campaign, 12,805 people have written to Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao demanding that she clean up her act.  We originally set a goal of 15,000 letters - but I think we can hit 20,000 if we really try.

Major newspapers have covered the campaign.  Bloggers are talking about Elaine like never before. And get this: our web servers have been registering hundreds of visits from users inside the Department of Labor – we’re clearly getting their attention!

Are you watching Elaine Chao?

Tell Elaine you’re watchingPresident Bush has appointed some real scoundrels over the years, but Elaine Chao has to be one of the worst.

As Secretary of Labor, she’s done horrible damage to workers’ rights - everything from slashing worker safety programs to jeopardizing overtime pay for 8 million workers.

With 11 months left in office, the worst could be yet to come. That’s why we need YOU to let Elaine know you’re watching her and tell her to clean up her act.

To make sure Elaine knows America is watching, we want to collect 15,000 letters and we’ll personally hand-deliver them to her office.

Tell Elaine Chao that she needs to start protecting workers!
