Overtime pay in trouble.
Meanwhile, as the 9/11 commission tries to hang Clinton, our Dem Senators are trying to fight for overtime pay rights for American workers (firemen, policemen, some factory workers). Telling how, in the middle of the night without involving Dems, the Republicans stripped out the Harken/Kennedy amendment that would protect overtime pay.

These Republicans are simply heartless.

1. Yeap.......no one is really watching the "hen-house"
Harkin and kennedy have been champions here in this issue. The issue just is not getting out to the masses effectively. I guess it's going to hit a lot of folks hard....including me. Folks are going to be outraged.....okay, maybe thats what it will take.

3. Maybe this should be one of the questions the 9/11 panel asks about
They aren't asking much else that means anything to the public?
