Now Showing in the Political Theatre

The "Since Sliced Bread" project of the Service Employees International Union is now running a great little petition drive to get U.S. senators to co-sponsor an interesting bit of political theatre:

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton just introduced a bill that would link Congressional pay increases to increases in the federal minimum wage. It would require the federal minimum wage to be increased by the same percentage amount as Congressional salaries every year. The SSB community sees this as a pressing issue for the country -- after all, you submitted almost 500 ideas about minimum wage. In fact, three community members had practically the same idea as Senator Clinton!

Go sign.
