Lucas --
No one can raise a family on $7.25 an hour.
But the federal minimum wage has been stuck at that level for almost four years. That's a shame. But you know what's more shameful? House Republicans refuse to raise it!
We need to tell the GOP we won't stand for that. Can you add your name and demand action now? Help reach 100,000 strong demanding a minimum wage increase.
The minimum wage is actually worth $2 less today than it was in 1968. In fact, if the federal minimum wage had kept up with the inflation rate, it'd be $10.60 an hour, instead of the $7.25 Republicans want to keep it at.
Why should families be forced to struggle when the answer is right in front of us? Let's raise the minimum wage and give all Americans a fair shot at their own American Dream.
