		<description><![CDATA[I got this email from the Communications Workers of America talking about AT&#38;T and the Masters Tournament. The interesting strategy I read about in this email is the CWA’s embracing of Twitter to spread the word about AT&#38;T’s corporate greed. 
When you send your &#34;tweets,&#34; be sure to include a link to our petition (www.standupforworkers.com) [...]]]></description>
