Raise the California Minimum Wage Initiative

Green Party members across the state are gathering petitions signature

to qualify an initiative that would raise the state's minimum wage to

.75 and add an annual cost-of-living-increase, so as to keep the

raised wage at pace with inflation.

This initiative would positively affect approximately 2 million low-wage

workers.

Please join Northern California Green Party organizer Tim Smith tonight

at the Santa Monica Greens office - 7:30pm, at 2809 Pico Bl. in Santa

Monica - and



- get copies of the petition, as well as

- learn the talking points for the petition

- learn the best way to gather petition signatures easily



See you then!

Take the Blue Bus, our office is right next to the .99 cent store.

I truley believe it should be raised to much more . Minimum wages should reflect a living wage. Who can live on 7.75 per hour? If you want to do something, then raise is to .00 per hour. Why waiste your time on pennies?

Why not 0 an hour and a new Mercedes in every pot? And a PS3, an XBox 360 and a plasma TV? If you're just giving other people's stuff away, why not take it all?

No, not the pretty machines but the going rate the corporations charge for their wage slaves.

150/ hr. Is okay as long as it includes health care.

Demanding is the way to go, but, it would cause all the business owners to start crying about it, and they'd kill it. Then people would know who their enemies are. (Sounds like a plan.)
