That’s how long it’s been since the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 582, The Raise the Wage Act. Millions of working Americans are falling further and further behind thanks to stagnant wages and legislative inaction. How many more days will the US Senate let pass before putting this critical bill to a vote? It’s time to raise wages for American worker. It’s time to pass the Raise the Wage Act.
And how long has it been since Congress took action to raise the federal minimum wage?

The federal minimum wage has been stuck at $7.25 for over ten years – long enough for it to lose over 30% of its value. In an economy that is 70% consumer driven, that’s not just unfair, that’s fiscally irresponsible. Call YOUR senators at (202) 224-3121 and tell them it’s time to raise the wage.
