Thank President Obama for his Support

We don't often thank our elected leaders when they do something good - like almost never!  So take a minute to send an email thank you card to President Obama for appointing two union supporters to the NLRB.

President Obama took a stand for America's workers. Send Obama a thank you card, and tell him to keep up the fight. WOW. First President Obama and Congress passed healthcare reform. And then, just this weekend,President Obama took another strong stand for working families. He filled much-needed vacancies on the National Labor Relations board (NLRB) – the agency tasked with protecting workers' rights. So we're putting together a thank you card, to show the president our appreciation. Will you add your name? Send a thank you card to President Obama and encourage him to keep the momentum going for working families. Obama's nominees – Craig Becker and Mark Pearce – are well respected and highly qualified labor lawyers who should have been confirmed months ago. But corporate front groups – including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce – worked nonstop to block the appointments from coming to an up-or-down vote in the Senate.1 President Obama knew working people couldn't afford to wait any longer for the Labor Board to get to work. So he used his executive power to help the NLRB tackle its backlog of critical cases, making "recess appointments" when Congress left town. "I must act in the interest of the American people and exercise my authority to fill these positions," he said, "...I simply cannot allow partisan politics to stand in the way of the basic functioning of government." Click here and send a thank you card TODAY. It's an easy way to say "thanks for standing up for America's workers." Healthcare reform and these NLRB appointments are critical steps that will make a huge difference for millions of workers. But powerful anti-union lobbyists and corporate front groups will continue to fight every step that President Obama takes to help working families. That's why it's so important to show President Obama these actions have our support. Send a thank you card and tell Obama to keep up the fight. Thanks for all you do for workers' rights, Manny, Liz and the American Rights at Work team P.S.
