Subject: UFW President on Colbert Report last night. See the video &

sign the pledge.

Dear Bobbi,

Exciting

News. UFW President Arturo was on Comedy Central's Colbert Report

last night talking about the UFW's Take Our Jobs campaign.

Did you

miss it? Did you see it and want to show it to a friend? No worries.

You can see it by clicking on the on the below link. Please watch the

video and then take action and sign

the AgJOBS pledge today!

While

Comedy's Central Colbert is a riot, the campaign is no laughing

matter. The offer to recruit unemployed Americans is serious. Would-be farm

workers can sign up via the Take Our Jobs website. Of the 5,000+ who have

filled out inquiries, 3 people are now working in the fields. On his show,

Colbert declared he would be #4.

U.S.

Agriculture is dependent on an immigrant workforce. Last week, President

Obama recognized the vital role immigrant farm workers play in feeding

America. Like the President we all know that deporting all undocumented farm

workers would cause the collapse of the agricultural industry.

This

is why the UFW has launched the Take Our Jobs campaign. The effort

underscores that we are a nation in denial about our food supply. The

campaign is aimed at creating a national discussion about who does the work

to feed our country.

Sign the AgJOBS pledge today and take a stand to tell legislators that

they should do all they can to support the bipartisan AgJOBS bill, created by

both agribusiness and the UFW.
