Dear MoveOn Member:

Florida Needs a Raise. But George Bush's Powerful Friends Are Standing In the Way.

More than 300,000 Floridians work 40 hours per week, every week, all year long and make only $892 per month. That's what the current minimum wage of $5.15 per hour gets you--hunger and despair.

Now, the Association of Community Organization for Reform Now! (ACORN)--with the help of MoveOn members--has put a measure on the ballot to raise the minimum wage and lift hundreds of thousands of working families above the poverty line.

But before voters even have the chance to decide the issue, George W. Bush's powerful friends in Florida have been trying to crush it with lawsuits and misinformation.

Tell George W. Bush To Call Off the Attack. Florida Needs a Raise!
