These are workers, men and women, who watch over our children in day care centers, work the night shift as janitors, and care for our parents living in nursing homes. They work hard, and they deserve to make a living. Its a wage without opportunity or hope. On this important anniversary of the minimum wage, lets recommit ourselves to creating opportunity for all working Americans. A raise in the minimum wage will contribute to an economy that is moving in the direction of balanced growth for all, and leaves no American behind.
Lets raise the minimum wage.
