More equal than you!

ProgressNow says Send Marilyn Musgrave a Message:
Last week Marilyn Musgrave voted herself a pay raise -- a $3,330 increase, bringing her up to nearly $170,000 a year. Tell Musgrave to support a minimum wage increase for working families in Colorado too.

Congress has passed 9 pay raises for themselves since the last minimum wage increase in 1996. Meanwhile, 8 million Americans are still stuck far below the poverty line at $5.15 an hour. The buying power of the federal minimum wage is currently at its lowest level in 51 years.

Fortunately, Cololado voters will have the opportunity on the November ballot to vote on a minimum wage increase in this state. If Musgrave can vote herself a raise, she can support one for Colorado's working families. Call on Musgrave to endorse the citizens' initiative in Colorado to raise the minimum wage by completing the form below.

Well, I think the 'old school' Republicans are slowly starting to wake up - look at all the For Lease signs all over the place. The landlords must be hurting... fine job our Rep is doing supporting our interests.

I hope the realtors are getting a clue. Vote for Marilyn - GO BANKRUPT. Very simple equation, no MBA needed.
