Coming to terms with this nations minimum wage.

Dear Representative

As of July 24, 2009 our minimum wage will peak out once again leaving the legislators of this nation to come to terms with living conditions to generate an assumption of what is a suitable amount to receive as a fair minimum wage.

Currently as a nation we are witnessing on of the worse economic considerations since the ending of World War II. This country is still coming to terms with this as a seemingly minor set back as of now. As this nation drives foward, the implecation of what will now be a reasonable standard to base a wage consideration is coming to hand.

Currently the national minimum wage is to be placed at 7.25 per hour. This amount is not enough for most people to support themselves let alone a family. There needs to be more financial stability coming from the standards placed as wage and hourly pay.

It is only fair to suggest that as the cost of living climbs the consideration of reasonable pay rate and minimum wage regard should be adjusted to suit the livlihood of our fellow americans.

This action is to bring forth an awareness that this nations wage assumption should be adjusted to compensate for the cost of living and the well being of our families as we work to support them.

Please consider the fact that 7.25 will not be enough to feed, clothe, and properly shelter our families for long in this preogressive economic environment. Considerations and adjustments need to be impacted now to improve the finiancial status of thousands of families alike across this nation.


Thank You
