Trouble with clutch when starting

Over the last few weeks it seems like I have to push the clutch in farther than normal to get the engine to start. In the past I didn't have to go all the way to the floor, but now I've got to really mash the clutch all the way into the floor to get it to start.

Knowing there's got to be a switch behind the scenes is there a way to adjust how far the clutch needs to be depressed before it allows the car to start?

Thanks in advance.

There are two switches on the clutch, the one at the top of the travel turns off the cruise, the one you have a problem with is at the bottom of the travel.

It could have backed-off, or it's bracket could be bent.
