This is getting to be disgusting when the Republicans take a 30,000 $ pay raise
every three years or so. It is time to realized all of us deserves a slight
cost of living raise. Things go up, the Corporations get greedy. Time to clean
it up, congress.. Or we should maybe start taking a pay limit for congress, too.
Russ Fiengold refused the raise the congress got the last time, he said he
would not take one until the workers get theirs.....so at least those who vote
for it are o.k.
We may as well, fill the congress (gop) who do not vote for the pay raises,
keep their emails full and also their web sites. They may as well face the
music.

Texas AFL-CIO Dear Theresa ,
Tell Congress:
Pass a CLEAN Minimum Wage Increase
Yes, they did it again. The Senate defeated a clean minimum wage increase
that is nearly 10 years overdue.
Click to tell congress:
Pass a CLEAN Minimum Wage Increase
Yes, they did it again. The Senate defeated a clean minimum wage increase that
is nearly 10 years overdue.
A majority of senators54voted to raise the minimum wage from $5.15 an hour
to $7.25 without handing out more business tax breaks. But the mostly
Republican opponents of a clean minimum wage increase filibustered the measure,
and it takes 60 votes to end debate on a filibustered bill. Now the Senate will
take up a minimum wage bill that includes tax breaks and other giveaways
President Bush wantsand its expected to pass.
So, once again, millions of minimum wage workers have to wait for a raise
while the House (which passed a clean minimum wage increase) and Senate work
out the differences between their versions of the legislation.
Low-wage workers have been at the back of the line long enough. Tell your U.S.
representative and senators: Pass a clean minimum wage increase with no more
business handouts. Click here to send your message.
Tuesday night, in his State of the Union Address, President Bush claimed the
economy is on the move and growing. Not for minimum wage workers, thats for
sure. The real buying power of their paychecks is at the lowest point in more
than 50 years. Today, a full-time minimum wage worker makes just $206 a week,
$10,712 a yearfar below the poverty line for even a small family.
Businesses have gotten $300 billion in tax breaks since the last time minimum
wage workers got a raise. Its time to demand a clean minimum wage increase.
Tell your U.S. representative and senators: Pass a clean minimum wage increase
with no more business handouts. Click here to send your message:

Thank you for fighting for working families.

P.S. Help spread the word. Please forward this e-mail to at least 10 other
working family activists you know and urge them to send messages to Congress,
too.
