RANKIN/BASS fans and friends....please take a few minutes to sign this! It is on the WHITE HOUSE's webpage and I did hear from P. Obama about this..

Dear friends,

I wanted to let you know about a new petition I created on We the People, a
new feature on WhiteHouse.gov, and ask for your support. Will you add your
name to mine? If this petition gets 25,000 signatures by November 25, 2011,
the White House will review it and respond!

We the People allows anyone to create and sign petitions asking the Obama
Administration to take action on a range of issues. If a petition gets
enough support, the Obama Administration will issue an official response.

You can view and sign the petition here:

Here's some more information about this petition:

prevent large corporations like AT&T from firing senior employees (I was
fired for sickness) to avoid pensions/health care!

Large corporations, such as AT&T, are getting rid of their senior
employees by firing and making them leave for unjust reasons. I was fired,
after 20+ years, for sickness and they turn around and say it was because 'I did not
return during an unapproved absence.' All three of my doctors advised
against going back to work and spoke with AT&T by phone and faxed medical
documents. They claim they had no knowledge of my sickness. The driving
force behind this is to avoid paying me a larger pension and health care as
was negotiated in our union contract for my job title. Now they hire people
under a different job title 'SERVICE CONSULTANT' with no pension
and no benefits. IBEW LOCAL 21 went along with this under the guise of it
saved jobs BUT it did not...it lowered the quality of jobs.
