Wanna see something really stupid? This gal obviously has no clue...The D.C. bill sponsored by the crack rock smoking Marion Barry, is a job killer, and Laura is an idiot: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Laura Clawson, Daily Kos <[email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) > Date: Fri, Sep 13, 2013 at 1:03 PM Subject: It will come down to just one vote To: [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) KeithInTampa, District of Columbia Mayor Vincent Gray just vetoed the Large Retailer Accountability Act, which would have forced big box retailers, like Walmart, to pay D.C. workers a living wage. Please join with Daily Kos and Working America as we urge the City Council to override this veto. _Click here to sign._ (http://kos.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=cc5jF/r9hd+YlgnH3b+8nYgpZTxTEIcJ) Retail giant Walmart, looking to open up to six stores in DC, led an intense lobbying campaign against the bill. Mayor Gray is parroting Walmart’s claims, even calling this living wage bill a “job-killer,” but the reality is that Walmart is the job-killer and DC’s workers deserve better than poverty wages. The bill would require employers to pay a wage of $12.50 an hour­­—a drop in the bucket compared to the billion dollar balance sheets of retailers included in this bill. On Tuesday, September 17, D.C. City Council has the opportunity to override the mayor’s veto. To do so, one city council member who originally voted against the LRAA will need to find the courage to stand up to Walmart and change his or her vote to join the eight council members who voted for the LRAA. _Please join with Daily Kos and Working America by signing the petition urging D.C. City Council members Tommy Wells, Muriel Bowser, Mary Cheh, David Catana, and Yvette Alexander to override Mayor Gray’s veto and pass the Large Retailer Accountability Act._ (http://kos.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=Algdqj0e+KWiyeDJ32K6r4gpZTxTEIcJ) Big Box retailers like Walmart can afford to and should pay living wages to their workers everywhere. Keep fighting, Laura Clawson, Daily Kos P.S. _Please help keep Daily Kos strong by chipping in $3._ (http://kos.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=40lLEJ5cfiTIU7zhz2bq/aw6KjJoSt2J) To unsubscribe from ALL Daily Kos emails, _visit this link._ (http://kos.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=WULzBy8avWbIU7zhz2bq/aw6KjJoSt2J) To opt-out ONLY from action emails, _visit this link._ (http://kos.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=QquIbRlPYNjFfoErYF9NRYgpZTxTEIcJ) -- -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
