OPPOSITION TO COURT PACKING CONTINUES NOW members and supporters: Please thank the Democratic Senators who are sustaining filibusters on the judicial nominations of Miguel Estrada and Priscilla Owen. Urge them to commit to a filibuster on the nomination of Carolyn Kuhl, and to a filibuster on the renomination of Charles Pickering, if it goes forward. SPEAK OUT AGAINST THE NOT-SO-FAMILY-FRIENDLY 'FAMILY TIME FLEXIBILITY ACT' It's not too late to voice your opposition to a bill that could force employees to work longer hours for less pay. House Republican leaders have postponed a vote on the so-called "Family Time Flexibility Act" until next week in order to drum up more support for their anti-worker's rights agenda. The Senate is expected to move forward with companion legislation sometime after that. Take action!
