PETITION REP GOODLATTE TO RAISE THE MINIMUM WAGE
Americans need a raise. No one who works full time to support a family should have to live in poverty. I support raising the minimum wage to at least $10.10 per hour—and call on Rep. Goodlatte to do the same. Rep. Goodlatte needs to say whether he stands with hardworking parents who want to put food on the table or with large corporate special interests.
Why is this important?
In this year’s State of the Union address, President Obama called on Congress to raise the minimum wage to $10.10 – an idea popular among many Republican, Independent, and Democratic voters.
Bruce Elder will deliver this petition to Rep. Bob Goodlatte demanding he support a minimum-wage increase to bring 511,000 working Virginians — 1 in 7 — above the poverty line. Will you sign this petition?
