If you didn't read this on CNN yet, this is a new thread in response to that "Congress getting richer" thread I posted.

I'm not a democrat, but I do admire them for this and didn't expect it at all. I just hope they stick to it. After all the shit republicans have pulled recently, I don't even wanna be republican anymore. Doing things like this is what it's all about, whether they're really just vying for public opinion or not.

QUOTE
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A week after the GOP-led Senate rejected an increase to the minimum wage, Senate Democrats on Tuesday vowed to block pay raises for members of Congress until the minimum wage is increased.

"We're going to do anything it takes to stop the congressional pay raise this year, and we're not going to settle for this year alone," Democratic Leader Harry Reid of Nevada said at a Capitol news conference.

maybe people who make 5.15/hr shouldn't be raising families

amen. and anyone raising a family on minimum wage would probably have two incomes and more than enough free help from the government that i provided by paying my taxes.
