Tell the GOP: Raise the Minimum Wage

The federal minimum wage has not gone up since 2009. It’s barely enough for workers to make ends meet. It puts a family of four under the poverty line. And it’s time that changed.

The President has declared his support for raising the minimum wage. Now it’s up to Congress, where right-wing Republicans are doing all they can to protect corporate interests at the expense of middle class Americans.

Join Ed and tell Republicans in Congress: It’s time to give American workers a raise.

To Republicans in Congress:

Boosting the minimum wage is essential to reduce the great income disparities plaguing this nation.

Americans who work hard should receive a wage they can live on — not one that keeps them in an endless cycle of poverty.

It’s time you raised the minimum wage, and gave low-income Americans a chance to work their way into the middle class.

Sincerely,
YOUR NAME HERE
