Will you please pressure these Republican contributors into getting a minimum wage increase?

[liberaldemocrat7]

The US senate has voted not to pass an unamended minimum wage law.

To the people please call your local Wendy's, Outback Steakhouse, Red Lobster and Olive Garden restaurants, each of these companies gives money to the Republican party. Tell the manager that you will never patronize their restaurant again until

1. Your parent company stops giving money to the Republican party.

2. Your CEO gets the house and senate to get a clean law enacted raising the minimum wage to $10 an hour.

Unless you punish the friends of the Republican party, you will have a tough effort to get Republicans to do anything to help the less fortunate in this country.

Will you please spread this message around? Thank you.

1. I already don't patronize Anti-Choice Wendy's, Santorum Steakhouse, or Fundie Garden. n/t

2. I get people who often say this.

My reply to you. Call them and tell them what I said in the original post. Merely silently boycotting them will not pressure these contributors into getting their GOP officeholders to do anything.

3. The Republican party still controls the senate to a great degree.

So if you want to force the Republicans to do what you want, you need to get at them indirectly through their contributors by calling them, telling them they will lose your purchases and therefore your money until they get the Republicans to do what you want.
