Wicker's Wicked Record! From voting to raise our national debt, to demonstrating weakness on illegal immigration and voting against increasing the minimum wage, Roger Wicker is clearly and deeply out of touch with Mississippi values.

  Wicker voted to raise the debt limit to nearly $9 trillion. In 2005, Wicker voted for the final FY06 budget resolution, which paved the way for a $781 billion increase in the debt limit, bringing the limit to $8.96 trillion. (Vote 149, April 28, 2005; Washington Post, April 29, 2005)

  Wicker has voted at least five times against increased funding for border security. In the most recent example, Wicker voted against the House version of the $37.4 billion Fiscal Year 2008 Homeland Security Appropriations bill, which included $8.9 billion for customs and border protection. (Vote 491, June 15, 2007)

  Wicker has voted at least four times against raising the minimum wage. In 2007, Wicker voted against raising the minimum wage from $5.15 to $7.25. In 2000, Wicker voted against increasing the federal minimum wage by $1 over two years. In 1996, Wicker twice voted against raising the minimum wage by 90 cents over two years. (Vote 18, Jan. 10, 2007; Vote 43, March 9, 2000; Vote 195, May 23, 1996; Vote 192, May 23, 1996)

The 12 Miles South Coalition is a group of business and community leaders who support the limitation of oil and gas production or testing to an area twelve nautical miles south of Mississippi’s barrier islands. The proposed plan for exploration and drilling in the coastal waters of Mississippi is poorly conceived, inappropriate, and downright wrong for the Mississippi Coast. We urge you to learn about the issue and join the fight to block inappropriate exploration and drilling here in our home. http://gulfislandsconservancy.com/
