This was sent to employees today, but anyone in the following states that would like to help please contact the following people in congress---

Dear Employee:

We are at a critical juncture in our efforts to get Congress and the current administration to provide federal loans to domestic auto manufacturers to help bridge our nation’s economic crisis. Your support in the form of phone calls is urgently needed in the next 12 hours as a number of Republican Senators are threatening to block the vote on the Auto Rescue Bill recently announced.

If you are located in the states listed below, please contact your legislators by calling 866-927-2233 and remind them that autoworkers in their districts are counting on them for their support and leadership. Additionally, please share the hotline number with family, friends, business partners or other contacts in these states and ask them to call their Members of Congress immediately. Talking points and other materials to assist these calls can be found at www.gmfactsandfiction.com.

Your efforts to call legislators have been crucial in getting us to this point. Please urge everyone you know in these key states to place their phone calls in the next 12 hours and remind legislators that their vote is about the survival of America’s auto industry and they will be held accountable for job losses in their states.

States and Legislators:

Georgia – Senators Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson
Indiana – Senator Richard Lugar
Kansas – Senators Sam Brownback and Pat Roberts
Kentucky – Senators Mitch McConnell and Jim Bunning
Louisiana – Senator David Vitter
Tennessee – Senators Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker

(Additional Republican Senators who have been supportive, but should be reminded that we need their leadership in the Republican Party to ensure that their colleagues do not derail these vital loans to the domestic autos)
