Dems hire workers to push minimum wage increase, but pay below minimum wage
Democratic Hypocrisy at it's best! A group that raises money for Democratic Congressional candidates uses a company that pays it's workers subminimum wage to talk to people about... raising the minimum wage.
Talk about a bunch of hypocrites. They rail to raise the minimum wage, but they themselves will not even pay the current minimum... Just imagine what would be said if it was a group working for the Republicans.

A group that raises money for Democratic Congressional candidates uses a canvassing company that pays some workers submimium wage, in apparent violation of Wisconsin state law, to talk about the need to raise the federal minimum wage, Isthmus newspaper has learned.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), based in Washington, D.C., has hired Grassroots Campaigns, a Boston-based for-profit company with operations in 18 U.S. cities, to conduct canvassing on its behalf. The DCCC's "New Direction for American" agenda, which provides the talkiing points canvassers are taught to use to solicit contributions, includes a call to "Raise the minimum wage."
Talk about a bunch of hypocrites. They rail to raise the minimum wage, but they themselves will not even pay the current minimum... Just imagine what would be said if it was a group working for the Republicans.
