Today A Minimum Wage Earner Has To

Working-class Americans Have Waited Too Long, Close To A Decade In Fact, For An Increase In The Minimum Wage. This Has Been The Second Longest Period Without A Pay Raise Since The Federal Minimum Wage Law Was First Enacted In 1938.

House Republican Leadership Have Refused To Allow A Clean Minimum Wage Vote. Close To 15 Million Americans Will Be Affected If We Did This. Do Republicans Really Expect A Family To Live On Less Than $11,000 A Year?

It Is Shameful That Millions Of Americans Are Suffering The Economic Injustice Of Working A Full-time Job And Earning A Wage That Leaves Them Below The Poverty Line.

In The Years Since 9/11, More Terrorists Have Been Created Through This President's Policies Than Were Captured Or Killed. There Weren't Any Terrorists In Iraq In 2003, But There Are Now.

Today A Minimum Wage Earner Has To Work A Day And A Half Just To Pay For A Full Tank Of Gas. That Is Simply Shameful.
