WASHINGTON – In this week’s address, President Barack Obama highlighted small business owners across the country he says are acting to raise wages for their workers. He called on Congress to “give America a raise so more hard-working Americans have the opportunity to get ahead.”

Obama wants Congress to raise the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour. Iowa Senator Tom Harkin is a major proponent of that initiative.

“Republicans have voted more than 50 times to undermine or repeal health care for millions of Americans. They should vote at least once to raise the minimum wage for millions of working families,” the president said.
