WASHINGTON -- As part of his bid for Congress, Iowan Ravi Patel has circulated a petition urging House Speaker John Boehner (R) to support boosting the federal minimum wage to $10.10 per hour, as congressional Democrats have proposed. "In the wealthiest nation on earth, it is disgraceful that a full-time worker making minimum wage lives below the poverty line," the petition reads. Patel is one of three Democrats competing to run against Republican Rep.
