gary,
Last week I emailed you to call your senator and tell them to vote against paycheck deception. Well, the Senate delayed the vote on this dangerous bill, but it’s now on the calendar for a vote this week, and could come up today.
We’re hearing that this vote is going to come down to the wire.

Subject: Call now to stop paycheck deception
gary,
I’ve got some bad news. Extreme politicians in Jefferson City are moving quickly on a bill--called paycheck deception--to silence the voices of nurses, teachers and other working people in our state.
Despite what those extremists will tell you, this bill is simply a political attack being pushed by out-of-state millionaires and billionaires. It would make it harder for nurses, teachers and other working people who make our communities strong to bargain for better equipment, safer workplaces and fair pay.
The House already passed this dangerous legislation with just enough votes to override a veto from Governor Nixon and the Senate is expected to vote on it any day. But it’s not over yet. We can still defeat this bill but we need to shore up support from your senator.
Despite a huge push from out-of-state billionaires and their out-of-touch politician pals in Jefferson City, we were able to stop paycheck deception last year. But they’re back with a vengeance this year and lobbying harder than ever.
They know that if they get this bill passed that they can grab more power away from working people in Missouri by limiting their ability to advance legislation that would create good jobs and raise wages for Missourians.
Even though extreme lawmakers were able to get it passed last week in the House, we still have a shot to stop it--but only if we call now to tell our senators to oppose it.
In Solidarity,
Mike
