Link Congressional Pay to the Minimum Wage
Sign Now
Whereas, the members of the United States Congress already earn more than thirty (30) times the federally mandated minimum wage and are in a position to vote against pay raises that would otherwise be automatic;
Whereas, the opportunity to serve in the United States Congress is a privilege that should be its own reward;
We, the undersigned, propose a Constitutional Amendment linking Congressional Pay to the federal minimum wage, with Congress members to be paid no more than ten (10) times the amount of someone earning the minimum wage for a full year (or 2000 hours).

Bob Dole doesn't like this petition. Bob Dole likes his pay raises. Bob Dole wants to keep his pay raises. Bob Dole votes no on this petition.

Minimum wage was increased to $5.15 per hour in 1996, almost a decade of inflation has passed with the mimimum wage still at $5.15, this is complete nonsense
