Hillary's Minimum Wage Bill

I've been on vacation but now I'm back. I just sent the following note to the junior Senator from NY:

Dear Senator Clinton:

I'm outraged that Congress has given itself $31,600 in raises in the past nine yearswhile those earning the minimum wage haven't seen a single increase. I'm sick of Congress leaving working families behind while passing tax breaks for the richest Americans.

It's time to get Republicans in Congress moving on raising the minimum wage. That's why I strongly support your bill that ties any more raises for Congress to raises in the minimum wage.

Sincerely,
Jeff Lipson

She introduced a bill that would make sure Congress doesn't get another raise in their own pay until those making the minimum wage get a raise too. Who knows, maybe someone in NYC will be able to make enough in one hour to not only buy a beer but leave a tip.

If you support this bill, go here and make your voice heard.
