I yield myself briefly. Gee, I know you work for the minimum wage, and I know you want a higher minimum wage, but the way the offer was packaged was such that I had to vote ``no.'' So don't blame me that you didn't get an increase in the minimum wage, because I voted ``no.'' As I said, this is going to be very difficult. All you have to do is vote ``yes.''
