Just got this through from Rand Wilson at the AFL-CIO. Rand used to work with Jobs with Justice in Boston. Click on the link below to play your part in stopping George Bush's privatisation of social security in the US.

'Last Thursday, in 65 cities across the country, more than 7,000 people demonstrated outside Schwab offices to protest its support for privatizing social security. Online activists sent nearly 45,000 e-mails to Schwab as well.

On Monday, the AFL-CIO sent an email out to its Working Families "e-Activist" network asking people to follow up on the actions by faxing Schwab a letter. As of Tuesday afternoon, that resulted in 15,300 letters faxed to Schwab offices!

The AFL-CIO also appealed to Schwab clients to sign on to an "open letter" that will be delivered by a delegation of Schwab clients directly to Schwab. Already, 554 Schwab clients have already signed the open letter!

Please help keep the momentum going by faxing a letter to Schwab (it just takes a few seconds) and forwarding this email to your friends so that it gets into the hands of more Schwab clients. The link is www.unionvoice.org/campaign/SchwabShame '
