"Fair" Wage: Your Senator Voted For It!
Unless you are from Oklahoma, one or more probably both of your senators voted to increase prices of virtually everything in America. The Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2007 passed the Senate last week by an astounding 94-3.
The only Senators voting against this item from the liberal agenda:
- Jon Kyl (R-AZ)
- Tom Coburn (R-OK)
- Jim DeMint (R-SC)
Those not voting:
- Charles Schumer (D-NY)
- James Inhofe (R-OK)
- Tim Johnson (D-SD)
Dear Senator [insert name],
I hope that whatever you traded for your "yes" vote on the Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2007 is worth the price increases and lost jobs that are certain to follow.
I hope that whatever you traded for your "yes" vote on this plank from the liberal platform is worth the damage you have done to your relationship with your constituency.
It is often said that Republicans lost control of both houses of Congress because they quit acting like conservatives. Too bad you apparently haven't learned any lessons from recent history — a trait usually exhibited by liberals.

In the case of Sen. Corker, who does not have a webform so I can contact him electronically, I wrote the above verbiage in a letter and affixed a big green sticker that says:
My Congressional contributions
will be made through the
Club for Growth
www.ClubforGrowth.org
That should get the message through.
