Petition to Raise Minimum Wage in Florida
Edited on Mon Mar-01-04 01:10 PM by Bamboo
Here is some information about effort to raise minimum wage in Florida.I remember working for $3.35 an hour,they did not even add a dime so I would not feel like a "minimum" employee.I wonder if this will create some class action lawsuits which make a few lawyers rich,it is time to index the minimum wage to inflation at the federal level.

1. Put Mel Martinez on the Hot Seat!
Here is something else you can do to help the people of Florida and all of us really!

Mel Martinez Republican is running for the Senate from Florida in 2004, challenging Bob Graham. Mel among other things was the chairman of HUD from 2001-2003. During Mel's reign at HUD there is 59 Billion missing in government payouts that can not be traced! Mel on the Hot Seat. We are trying to get Mel Martinez to answer the question, where is the money? As he is running as a fiscal conservative.

This is everyone's tax dollar. Outside of being a partisan issue in this campaign, Where is the Money.org tries to find the missing funds from Enron style accounting in government. The crusade is for to the penny accountability. Something we would expect from any business and should be able to get from our elected officials. This would be an important step in getting big money out of politics. These scams are way of paying back your cronies. HUD and the DOD are piggy troughs and it really is sick, up to 2.3 trillion, enough to pay the entire Bush budget for this year!

You can help by posting this link everywhere, currently we are 8th when you search google for Mel Martinez, let's make the Internet a hot seat for Mel until he coughs up the cash! Thanks!

Mel Martinez Where is the Money? Hot Seat
