[Vision2020] FW: Countdown to 25,000

Tue Aug 8 15:58:15 PDT 2006

Chris,

When one sees what has happened, it is, as you point out, a result of very 
shoddy preventative maintenance.  I wonder what congress will do.  The 
impact on businesses of this cock-up should motivate the Republicans to look 
a little more closely at BIG OIL.

>>You are part of one of the most exciting, fastest growing social

>>health care, protect American jobs and pay a living wage.
>>
>>We are tired of big, powerful corporations like Wal-Mart taking our

>>American jobs overseas, opposed expanding health care for working

>>and fought against a living wage.  Wal-Mart's agenda is so harmful to
> our
>>nation's future that it threatens to weaken America's position as the
>>world's leader.
>>
>>Our fight is a fight for a better America.  It is a fight to put
