The Maryland House of Delegates passed it. But it's stuck in the Senate

'We need your signature to help Maryland raise the minimum wage to $10.10 per hour. Click here to join Daily Kos and Working Families and sign our joint petition.

The Maryland House of Delegates voted to raise the minimum wage, and Gov. Martin O’Malley says he would sign it into law. But the bill is now blocked in the state senate—with less than two weeks left to pass it and give half a million low-wage workers a raise.

$10.10 per hour is what President Obama says the federal minimum wage should be, but Congress won’t act. Maryland can take action now, and lead the way by passing this bill.

Join Daily Kos and Working Families by signing the petition to the Maryland State Senate: pass the Raise Maryland Bill, raising the minimum wage to $10.10 per hour.'

Keep fighting,
Chris Bowers, Daily Kos
