• Raise the minimum wage in KY to $10.10
    Our state's minimum wage is a mere $7.25. No one can keep a household at that little income. Everyone deserves a chance to live decent and not depend on others to make ends meet. Join me in calling on our government to pass needed legislation to raise our minimum wage to $10.10 or higher.

  • Raise the NY Minimum Wage to $10.10/hr
    I make NYS minimum wage and it is NOT enough to raise a family. The cost of living has skyrocketed in NY over the past few years, especially for those who rent homes in areas affected by Hurricane Sandy. Let's follow CT in helping to set a new standard.

  • SC Minimun Wage
    Poverty is at an unacceptable level in SC & Soup kitchens are under to many restrictions which means kids & elderly go to bed hungry every day. This shouldn't & won't be as bad if wages are adjusted to make a trip to the grocery store for everyone every week...not just the upper middle class!

  • Tell the Illinois state legislature to raise the minimum wage
    Our states current minimum wage is $8.25. That's not enough for anyone to live on. We deserve an economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthy and well-connected. I personally worked 26 years to only get $13.49--26 years. I am disabled from that same factory. Join with me in calling on our state legislature to raise the minimum wage to $12.00

  • Living Wage Now.
    Working for $8.73 is absurd, and offers no change of finding decent housing, food, or a reasonable life. It contributes dramatically to the vast inequality in the country; Vermont, though better in ways, is overall no exception. It also has the effect of making wages in the $9-11/hr range seem reasonable, when they are in fact woefully inadequate. A minimum wage increase is not by any means all that is needed to combat the inequality and vast economic disparity of the region and country, but it is helpful, a start, and extremely important nonetheless.

    In 1968 I was able to put myself through college with a minimum wage job. Now students can barely buy books at that same job! Tuition has increased 1200%! People need a living wage!

    Even though Oregon has a high minimum wage compared to many parts of the country, it could be higher. A raising of the minimum wage would create a much needed boost in the Oregon economy.

  • Reform Child Support NOW!
    I have been personally affected by the current child support system in a negative manner. The current law is outdated, unfair, and in many instances, unconstitutional. Reform is needed so that the modern family and our diverse situations can be correctly addressed. This will ensure that proper guidelines are being mandated and followed. No child deserves to be subjected to witnessing their parent fall victim to the child support system.
