Lucas,

That's how many Americans support raising the federal minimum wage. And they're right.
Americans who work full-time shouldn't have to worry about how to pay their bills or put food on the table for their families. But at $7.25 an hour, far too many face the same struggle – their wages remain stagnant while the cost of living keeps rising.
Congress can act today to raise the minimum wage, boost our economy and lift millions of Americans out of poverty – but right now, Republicans are blocking a proposal to help these hardworking Americans.
I need your help to send a clear message to Congress that now is the time to raise the minimum wage. Hardworking minimum wage earners cannot wait.
Click here right now to add your name and demand that Congress immediately raise the minimum wage.
This is a commonsense issue that should have broad bipartisan support – if the federal minimum wage had kept up with inflation over the past 40 years, minimum wage earners today would be earning $10.74 an hour instead of $7.25.
Congress can act right now to help millions of hardworking Americans lift themselves out of poverty and help jump-start our economy – but I need your voice in this to convince Republicans to do what's right. Will you stand with me?
Join me right now and urge Congress to raise the federal minimum wage.
Thank you for standing with me.
Carolyn
