Hey Paul Ryan, the answer is $7.25 minimum wag

Earlier this week, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan was asked a simple question at a New York Times event. It was: "What's the minimum wage in Wisconsin right now?"

His response: "Seven (pause) what is it (pause) seven and (pause)." Then someone from the crowd mercifully gave him the answer, which is $7.25 -- the lowest possible minimum wage under federal law.

Now, to be fair, Paul Ryan probably doesn't care what the minimum wage is. He is busy trying to shepherd through a tax cut for millionaires and billionaires in this country. But the truth is, working people -- including veterans after they serve -- deserve a representative who knows the answer to that question and is fighting to raise it.

Split a $7.25 donation to VoteVets and veteran and ironworker Randy Bryce's campaign to defeat Paul Ryan. Send a message that the Speaker of the House shouldn't be so oblivious to the needs of working people.

Can Randy Bryce win? There have been some polls recently that show this is a real race. And in a wave election, anything is possible. But the one thing we know is that his only chance is if we all step up.

All our best,
