Change is finally coming.

Finally, we have a president who's ready to bring relief to the middle class. A president looking out for working families, not just his corporate buddies. A president ready to sign the Employee Free Choice Act.

President Obama's support for this bill has stayed strong through his campaign and since his election. It's time we thanked him – and showed him just how many people care about this issue.

America is on the brink of losing its auto industry – one of the cornerstones of our economy – and the stakes couldn't be higher. 

The automakers have submitted plans to cut costs and strengthen products, and the United Auto Workers have announced that workers will do their part, too. But this is not enough. The automakers need additional financial resources to weather this unprecedented economic downturn. An emergency bridge loan, enabling domestic automakers to keep the production line moving, is a necessary step to revitalize the American auto industry and protect American jobs.

»Urge your lawmakers to issue an immediate "bridge loan" to GM, Ford, and Chrysler.

We're just one week away from one of the most important elections in modern history. And with the economy so unstable, it's no surprise that the Employee Free Choice Act has become a major issue.

Not only have we seen a groundswell of support – with over 800,000 people adding their voices to support for the bill – we've also seen vicious, distorted attack ads from shady anti-union groups. In fact, they claim they've raised over $50 million to attack pro-worker candidates and defeat the Employee Free Choice Act.

The Employee Free Choice Act would give workers the chance to form a union freely and fairly, without fear of intimidation by their employers. Every new signature on this petition adds to the momentum behind this bill.

When it comes to respecting workers, America's favorite TV show is way off-key.

American Idol brings in $200 million in profits annually. But some of the people who help produce it are taking home as little as $4.50 an hour. That's below minimum wage.

What's more, some report working 15-20 hours a day, seven days a week – even going without overtime pay and breaks for rest or meals. American Idol won't respect basic workers' rights protected by law.
 
»Tell American Idol it's time to change their tune – and give workers what the law requires.

America needs a new economy — one where millions of good, union, green-collar jobs revive our middle class and solve the climate challenge in the process.

Our next President and Congress will have a lot to say about when – and whether – we get that new economy.

That's why, on September 27th, people across the country are coming together for a national day of action for Green Jobs Now. We're talking house parties, street fairs, backyard BBQs, you name it – all to tell our leaders it's time to invest in the economy of the future.

We're making the Employee Free Choice Act a central issue at the Democratic convention in Denver. Armed with 550,000 petition signatures, we're meeting with party leaders, state delegations, and caucuses.

We've even launched a major ad campaign: billboards lining the Denver highways, ads in USA Today, and banners on major websites such as the Politico.

With pro-worker candidates feeling the pressure from a spate of attacks, your signature will make our case that much stronger in our meetings this week.
