• Rep. Daniel Webster: Show Your Support for the Working Middle Class by Voting to Raise the Minimu...
    It's not just teenagers working part time for spending money to replace their weekly allowances. Many families in our district depend upon minimum wage earners to pay the bills. The current minimum wage leads to poverty for many households. That's why I am asking Rep. Daniel Webster to show that his interests are with working families and not big corporations by supporting an increase in the minimum wage.

  • Rep. Roskam: Where do you stand? Food vs. Tax breaks
    I am a public school teacher and have seen so many of my colleagues/para educators struggle to make ends meet, many have to work a second job. I see many community members come to the food pantry at my church, on a weekly basis.

  • Rep. Frelinghuysen: Stop Blocking Efforts to Increase the Minimum Wage
    Americans who work hard - some even juggling 2 or 3 jobs - shouldn't be struggling to pay their bills and feed their families. Yet this is the reality for thousands because big corporations are allowed to pay their employees poverty wages. Rep. Frelinghuysen should stand with working people by supporting an increase to the minimum wage.

  • Raising the Minimum wage is a job creator
    After the 2007 economic crash, my 40 year old son lost his supervisor job in Phoenix. He has had to work two minimum wage jobs since then.

  • Raise the mininum wage
    My son is affected by low wages from Walmart. He has trouble paying his bills and just getting by with groceries. Rep. Coffman should sign the bill to give thousands of Americans a raise! The working people in America deserve it.

  • Rep. Mica: Stop blocking an increase in the minimum wage!
    I am starting this petition to improve our economy. Higher wages give workers more $$$ to spend and buy products thus creating more jobs. Rep. Mica and other republican politicians probably get large donations from big corps like Wal-mart to block living wages for their workers so that they can make higher profits and buy more influence in Washington.

    I see Rep. Sean Duffy's constituents in Wisconsin's 7th District working hard every day, but many are struggling desperately to support their families. They deserve a fair minimum wage.

  • Rep. Rigell: Stop Blocking an increase in the Minimum Wage.
    People I encounter on a daily basis are working two jobs just to get by on poverty wages. Increasing the minimum wage would help thousands of workers pay their bill and feed their families. Rep. Rigell should do the right thing and side with working people over big corporations.

  • Rep. Fitzpatrick: Support fair wages for workers
    People who work full time should not have to struggle and juggle with their meager paychecks to pay normal living expenses. It is time to turn around the recent trend of more and more people sinking into poverty, and the rich getting richer.
