<p class=MsoPlainText><b>Thank you!</b> for your role in the campaign to submit
the names of 1 million Employee Free Choice Act supporters to Congress on
January 2.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>The campaign has exceeded its goal by hundreds of thousands!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>It is bolstered by the election of Barack Obama and a
close-to-filibuster-proof Senate (go Al Franken!) and the nomination of Rep.
Hilda Solis as Secretary of Labor.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText>(It is, of course, seriously challenged by corporate
power. Please visit <a href="http://www.americanrightsatwork.org/">http://www.americanrightsatwork.org/</a>.
