Raise the Minimum Wage

For nine years, the Republican-controlled Congress has stonewalled hard-working Americans by blocking every proposal to raise the minimum wage. The result is unacceptable. A single mother with two children who has a full-time minimum wage job now has to survive on annual pay that's $4,500 below the poverty line.

Enough is enough. No one who works for a living should have to live in poverty. I refuse to stand by while our country's leaders ignore the plight of millions of workers -- and I'm asking you to join me.

With your signature, you can join in demanding an up-or-down vote in the United States Senate on the Fair Minimum Wage Act:
