To Members of Congress: Tens of millions of Americans are unemployed or underemployed. Basic needs are not met. These conditions unravel the social fabric of our United States. To correct the disparities, we herein call on Congress to adhere to Franklin Roosevelt\'s \"Second Bill of Rights\" and to seriously consider the provisions of H.R. 1040.

I really thought this might just disappear into the void but looking at how many people signed on is honestly making me feel like my head is spinning. It is wild to think about how much energy is building up around these ideas finally and I keep reading the comments while trying to drink my coffee because each one of them feels like a little spark.

Fix this now. Congress is totally out of touch with what regular people are dealing with everyday just to keep the lights on.

How can anyone live on minimum wage these days? Prices are going up every month and paychecks stay the same. Ridiculous.
