Yes! America said no to Bush and his Republican stooges

Democrats Take House -Two Dozen Seats Gained in House

OK, the Democrats finally have recaptured the House beating the crap out of Bush loving Republican incumbents in every part of the U.S. Black folks came out in huge numbers across America to play a critical swing vote role to that the U.S. House would become “the peoples house.”

Black folks like all American’s voted for Democrats to take America in a new direction. Democrats are now close to gaining control of the Senate in midterm elections dominated by the war in Iraq, and screwed up presidential leadership.

What About the Working Poor?

Voters in six states Tuesday approved ballot measures raising the minimum wage, joining 18 other states in setting a wage higher than the federal mark of $5.15 an hour. Let’s see if this new Democratic congress will deliver to the American people a living wage.

Voters OK minimum wage hikes
Ballot measures raising pay pass in Ohio, Arizona, Missouri, Montana and Colorado.

Ohio voters raised the wage to $6.85 an hour, Montana to $6.15 or the federal wage, whichever is higher, and Missouri to $6.50. Arizona voters raised the minimum wage to $6.75. the U.S. Congress should follow the electorate of those states and increase the Federal minimum wage.
