Both President Obama and Governor agree the minimum wage should be tied to the cost of living. Raising the minimum wage is supported by 71% of voters, including a majority of conservatives.
The federal minimum wage would be $10.86/hour today just to keep up with inflation over the past 40 years. Tie the minimum wage to the cost-of-living, similar to social security.
Tell your Congressman to support raising the minimum wage to $10.10/hour over the next three years, then keep it line with the cost-of-living from then on.
Why is this important?
Raising the minimum wage will help, not hurt, the economy by giving
millions of Americans more spending power.
