Raise The Minimum Wage From $7.25 to $10.10

The Issue

With the growing gap between the rich and the rest of us, Americans deserve a raise. I, Tom Guild, Democratic Candidate CD5-OK, support raising the minimum wage to at least $10.10 per hour – and I urge you to support this proposal.  It is currently set at $7.25 an hour.  If the minimum wage had kept pace with increased worker productivity since the late 1960's, it would now be $18.67. The $10.10 proposal is a good step in the right direction. Raising the wage to $10.10 would put billions of dollars into workers' pockets to spend, and boost economic growth by increasing demand. The Republican House opposes raising the minimum wage, and voted against raising the wage to $10.10 in 2013. The Do Nothing House is against almost everything to help the lives of ordinary Americans, except having big government intrude on their intimate personal decisions. Please sign our petition to let Congressman James Lankford and the Republican House Leadership know you want to raise the minimum wage.
