A Living Wage for Gulf Coast Rebuilders

I sent the following to Representative Ron Lewis (R-KY). I am NOT betting on him!

Yesterday, September 19, 2005, I sent you an email asking your position on the President's suspension of the Davis-Bacon Act. Not surprisingly, I have not heard your response. I am following up with this email to notify you of a great opportunity to show the working people of your congressional district that you believe in the American worker, that you believe the Federal government should stand behind a fair wage. You can become the FIRST Republican co-sponsor of H. R. 3763 which would "reinstate the application of the wage requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act to Federal contracts in areas affected by Hurricane Katrina."

Your President will make sure Halliburton, Fluor, and Bechtel profit from the misery of the people of our Gulf Coast. Why don't you join your colleagues in seeing that the people who actually do the work will receive a fair wage?
