More U.S. states are raising their minimum wages.
According to U.S. Today, more U.S. states are raising their minimum wages, pushing hourly rates above $7 in some and shrinking the role of the federal minimum wage, which hasn't gone up in eight years.
Eleven states have raised their rates since January 2004, and Wisconsin will become the 12th on Wednesday.
In all, 17 states and the District of Columbia — covering 45% of the U.S. population — have set minimums above the federal rate of $5.15.

Georgia Democrats should support such an effort and blame the Republicans for not supporting it. I would bet that the majority of Georgians support a minimum wage increase.
Holy crap, I came across a blog pretty similar to yours earlier today. I also have one that pretty much talks about free classified ad blaster related stuff. You should check it out sometime.
So many blogs and only 10 numbers to rate them. I'll have to give you a 8 because you have good content.
