You cannot be against a raise in the minimum wage and for cutting government assistance and still say that you are worried about the people living in poverty.

In addition to their risky investments, the big banks have a history of breaking the law whenever it suits their purpose, which is to make more money.

Poverty should be one of the top concerns for any elected leader. It has a negative effect on almost everything we as society entrust our government to do, but it seems that those in the Republican Party find it is more politically viable to fight a war on the people in poverty than it is to fight a war to end poverty in this country.

The problem in Washington is that no one is trying to work together.

If you do not ensure that people are being paid a living wage, then you are going to have people who rely on government assistance. It is that simple.

Shelby that left his office to join or create lobbying firms: Ray Cole, Stewart Hall, Richard Roberts, Wesley Ryan Welch, Amelia Blackwood, Phil Rivers, Jennifer Bendall and Geoffrey Gradler.
