The facts are clear - sign the petition for a higher minimum wage:

Joe -- The next time you hear someone tell you raising the minimum wage would be a bad idea, I want you to remember this: If the federal minimum wage was increased, nearly a million people would be lifted out of poverty. That's why you've got to add your name to our petition for a higher minimum wage -- we want lawmakers across the country to know just how many people are fighting for this. Over 600 economists have come forward to support raising the minimum wage. Plus, it would add 80,000 jobs and generate $22 billion in new economic activity. But this is also about doing what's right. There's no reason someone who's holding down a full-time job should ever have to worry about how to put food on the table. That's not what America is about. One of the reasons why we live in the greatest country in the world is because where you started in life isn't your fate. Anyone who works hard and does right by people should get a fair shot at success. This is something worth fighting for. Take a stand in support of raising the minimum wage -- sign the petition today: http://my.barackobama.com/Raise-the-Wage-Petition Thanks, Neeti Neeti Kaur Chief Financial Officer Organizing for Action
