SENATE TO VOTE ON FEDERAL MINIMUM WAGE BILL--CALL SENATOR COLEMAN THIS WEEK! Last week the U.S. House of Representatives passed the first federal minimum wage increase (to $7.25 an hour in three steps) in nearly a decade. The bill moves now to the Senate, where attempts will be made to amend it with tax breaks for businesses. These tax break amendments are unnecessary and a bad precedent for future minimum wage increases. All of them should be rejected. CALL SENATOR COLEMAN WITH THIS MESSAGE: Support a bill to increase the federal minimum wage without attaching special interest tax breaks. Keep it clean! Senator Norm Coleman: (651) 645-0323 (St. Paul) or (202) 224-5641 (Washington D.C.) ATTEND FRIDAY'S RALLY AT SENATOR COLEMAN'S OFFICE! A rally is being held this Friday, January 19th at 11:00 am in front of Senator Coleman's office to pressure him to vote for a clean minimum wage bill. Senator Coleman's office is at 2550 University Ave W, Suite 100N in St. Paul. The rally is being staged by one of our coalition partners, ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now). It is one of four events ACORN is scheduling simultaneously around the country to push the Senate to pass a clean minimum wage bill.
