All the DEMS voted YES (minus 1 not voting)

TOTAL Vote count 315-116

And what of the rethugs who voted NO????

Ok, I know they are rethugs and all; I simply am baffled why they would against something so many Americans are for? The minimum wage increase will be phased in over a couple of years in 3 steps.

Already we have done more then the do-nothing 109th rethug led joke of a Congress.

Keep it up DEMS - the whole country is watching!

6. thanks for the updated link...

none of the IN repubs voted for it... but there are three more dems than there were in December in the delegation - and they each voted for it - such a pleasure to read :D Of course they were on the earlier list - but it is also nice to get an early indicator of either really moderate repubs or very nervous (per reelection) repubs (in terms of those that voted in favor of the legislation.)

5. That's about 1 vote for every year we have been a country :) (nt)
