This is a petition for raising the minimum wage in US

Take some time get involved. This is a petition for raising the minimum wage in US as promoted by Ralph Nader. It would be a good first step for putting the politicians who are legally redistributing their money to their corporate constituency who buy them and it would go a long way to healing up the division between our public and private unions that has allowed their corporate backers to alternately whack both. It is time for working people to stand up for the good of workers as a whole.

Where has Ralph been on minimum wage issue for the last four decades?
Is this a ploy to suck off even more Dem votes and elect another George Bush clone?

Workers need to come together and get something done for "all American workers." It makes it harder for the people who run the country to exploit the differences in workers. Why can't you vote for Obama and improve the lives of American workers?
