Received this e-mail today from Katie McGinty’s (D. PA) U.S. Senate campaign:
Growing up, my family had to squeeze to make ends meet and I'll bet yours did too. It was even tighter for other families in our neighborhood.
I’ve never forgotten my roots, and that’s why I’m so committed to our shared fight for a higher minimum wage. Not only is it the right thing to do, but it will improve our economy by putting more money in the pockets of working families.
But I’m not naïve -- getting a higher minimum wage will be a heck of a fight. So we need to show beyond a doubt that Pennsylvanians are in support of this movement. Will you sign your name to give hardworking Americans a raise? Every person who joins me helps send the message that Americans want a fair wage!
Toomey made millions as a Wall Street banker, and then turned around and fought to repeal Wall Street reform in Congress. It's no wonder that with Toomey and his buddies in control of the Senate, getting a minimum wage raise has been impossible.
That’s why we need to put Democrats back in charge of the Senate -- including the Pennsylvania seat I’m running for. Then we can implement the agenda the American people want and deserve, starting with a higher minimum wage.
But first, I need your help. Will you add your name to my call for a higher minimum wage?
Thank you,
Katie |
