Mary Beth Maxwell as Secretary of Labor is Obama’s chance to Make Change That Doesn’t Look Like the Clinton Administration. The depth and scale of the Department of Labor’s attacks on workers under Elaine Chao’s leadership makes her a hot contender with John Yoo, author of the notorious ‘torture memos’, and Viet Dinh, architect of the Patriot Act, for most fucked up Asian American to serve George Bush.
Stop reading this stupid blog and CALL OBAMA NOW! 866.675.2008 and say, “Please appoint Mary Beth Maxwell for Secretary of Labor. Thank you, bye-bye.” It will take 10 seconds. Do. It. Now.
If you are lazy, cut this: Please appoint Mary Beth Maxwell for Secretary of Labor. Thank you, bye-bye.

Maxwell makes a living advocating for low-wage workers and unions. She’s not a Beltway politician. She’s the founding Executive Director American Rights at Work. Prior to that she was the National Field Director for Jobs with Justice. Brownie points: Maxwell would be the first out lesbian to serve in a cabinet position. A pro-union, pro-worker dyke. What more could I ask for?
