28 Republican Senators Voted To Eliminate The Federal Minimum Wage Yesterday...
Their efforts failed, of course, but it's always good to see the intentions of the majority of the Republican minority in plain sight. Especially since so many of them are either up for re-election or running for President in 2008.
Here are the Republicans that have no problem with the U.S. taking a big step toward becoming about as worker-friendly as China:
Lamar Alexander (R-TN)*
Wayne Allard (R-CO)
Robert Bennett (R-UT)*
Kit Bond (R-MO)
Sam Brownback (R-KS)**
Jim Bunning (R-KY)
Richard Burr (R-NC)
Saxby Chambliss (R-GA)*
Tom Coburn (R-OK)
Thad Cochran (R-MS)*
John Cornyn (R-TX)*
Larry Craig (R-ID)*
Craig Crapo (R-ID)
Jim DeMint (R-SC)
John Ensign (R-NV)
Mike Enzi (R-WY)*
Lindsey Graham (R-SC)*
Judd Gregg (R-NH)
Chuck Hagel (R-NE)**
Orrin Hatch (R-UT)
James Inhofe (R-OK)*
Johnny Isakson (R-GA)
John Kyl (R-AZ)
Trent Lott (R-MS)
John McCain (R-AZ)**
Mitch McConnell (R-KY)*
John Sununu (R-NH)*
Craig Thomas (R-WY)
* Up for re-election in 2008.
** Running for President in 2008.
While you're here, take a look at the list of states that either have no state minimum wage law, or actually have a state minimum wage that is less than the federal level...
