The Republican-led majority in our state legislature is overreaching, in a desperate attempt to push through as many outrageous, extreme bills as possible, before the general electorate boots their asses out in November! This is just one more example.

I Will Fight to Save the Minimum Wage -- Yo Voy a Luchar para Salvar el Salario Mínimo

Arizona's lowest-wage workers make only $7.65 an hourif_the_minimum_wage.jpg.                                                                       But, even that's too much for some 1%ers.

The Arizona Restaurant Association, led by Steve Chucri, is pledging to keep up the attacks on our minimum wage. Instead of working to create new, quality jobs and strengthen our economy, some in the Arizona state legislature would prefer to widen the wealth and income disparity gap between workers and CEO's by lowering wages for all.

Will you pledge today to fight for the minimum wage?

El salario minimo para los trabajadores de Arizona es tan sólo $7.65 por hora; sin embargo, los del 1% piensan que es demasiado.

La Asociación de Restaurantes en Arizona, dirigida por Steve Chucri, se comprometió a continuar con los ataques a nuestro salario mínimo. En lugar de trabajar para crear nuevos y mejores puestos de trabajo y fortalecer nuestra economía, algunos en la legislatura estatal de Arizona prefieren hacer mas grande la brecha de ingresos y riqueza entre los trabajadores regulares y los ejecutivos de las grandes empresas mediante la reducción de los salarios para todos los trabajadore regulares como nosotros.

¿Te comprometes hoy a luchar con nosotros a favor del salario mínimo?

We need to strengthen and build on the healthcare law, not find ways to weaken or disassemble it! As a 57 YO retiree from the State of AZ, I do not qualify for Medicare yet, so I pay FULL PRICE for health insurance for me and my 17 YO daughter, a brain cancer patient. That leaves me with $700/mo. Health insurance is outrageously expensive, and millions of Americans cannot afford it! WHY can’t we make premiums the same for all Americans, everywhere? There were many, MANY years that I paid insurance and never needed a doctor’s services. What I have paid in is FAR MORE than what I have used in services, and I expect that this is true for most insured Americans. What insurance companies have done is to take OUR MONEY and have bought politicians who are “friendly” to their companies. This is NOT how I want my money spent! Either have a single-payor, government-controlled healthcare system, or control costs and make it ILLEGAL for insurance companies to make such outrageous profits and to BUY politicians!

Moving Forward on Health Care: We Won't Go Back!

March 23rd marks the one year anniversary of the Affordable Care Act being signed into law. Some in Congress want to take away the consumer and patient protections in the law and put the insurance companies back in charge.

We urge you, our elected officials, to fully implement the Affordable Care Act.  We won't go back on health care!
