Hillary Clinton cosponsored bills to increase the minimum wage five times - correct the record

[OKNancy]

This is a Hillary Clinton group post.

--------

Hillary Clinton cosponsored bills to increase the minimum wage five times and consistently voted to support it. Over the course of her time in the U.S. Senate, Hillary Clinton cosponsored bills to raise the federal minimum wage in 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2007. Senator Clinton opposed Republican efforts to weaken the minimum wage, and she repeatedlybacked Democratic efforts to raise it. Although she opposed the Iraq funding bill it was folded into, Clinton cosponsored the original version of the Fair Minimum Wage Act that increased the minimum wage for the first time in ten years, from $5.85 to $7.25 an hour. It was one of the five bills Senator Clinton cosponsored to raise the minimum wage.

4. She also wanted to tie the minimum wage to raises in Congress, this would be good, they never think

they should not get a raise so it would be good for the minimum wage. I realize $10 is not a livable wage but since I work in a low income job I see my co workers who are trying to survive on this. I have other sources of funds so it is okay for me but I would not want to live on minimum wage.

She will be putting more of her agenda out after she announces. I had found the site and it has some valuable information, and it is factual info.

5. Does not matter what her record is, some on DU just won't believe it.

Makes me wonder what their motives really are.

I used the site to spread the info about Hillary's minimum wage stand.
