The confirmation of Rep. Hilda Solis, D-El Monte, as President Barack Obama's Labor secretary has been delayed because of Republican objections.
In this diary we review the latest news on the Solis confirmation and call for action to support Solis!
--------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Solis's Confirmation as Labor Secretary Delayed
The Republicans need Solis as Labor Secetary
like Madonna needs a chaperone for a date!
--------------------------------------------------------
take action - Obama must be pressured to push Solis confirmation!
http://www.whitehouse.gov/...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------
here are a few responses to the call:
(1) show the love, contact Obama, remind him how much you love Solis!
(2) pressure Obama to push Solis confirmation!
(3) I went to the site and gave my input.
I do hope a ground swell of people contact the White House.
(4) praise Obama's support for Solis, reach out to your
Republican Senators to support Solis and reach out
for Solis support among organizations, elected officials,
clergy leaders, but most importantly grass roots people.
We should show support for Hilda in as many ways as we can.
Get everyone on Facebook, peace groups, women's groups, &
labor to show support,
- build support for the policies and people she represents!

take action - Obama must be pressured to push Solis confirmation!

Hilda Solis (James Ku SGVN/Staff)
...Solis is an original co-sponsor of the union organization legislation, which could prove to be one of the most contentious and partisan labor issues Congress and the Obama Administration face this year.
The measure would allow employees to form a union if a majority of employees sign a petition, without holding a secret-ballot election as is currently required...
