• No pay for Members of Congress
    Members of Congress should not be paid until they perform their basic job responsbilies such as passing a budget. By not passing the budget long-term research projects cannot be started, recent graduates cannot be hired to work on such projects, businesses cannot plan for future expansion and hiring, the economy will not contunue to slowly improve.

  • Term Limits
    Representation in our U.S. Congress has become a career. No longer are our Senators and Congressmen common citizens sent to Washington to represent us. Let's end "career" representation with two-term limits. This affects all of us!

  • Incompetent Congress
    Congress passed the fewest number of bills in the history of the Congress in 2012. And their popularity amongst the American people is below 10%. And to cap it off, another die-hard dysfunctional display of childishness and immaturity over the fiscall cliff. No one in Congress cares about America; they only care about their political career. Therefore, in order to get their attention, we need some major pay and benefit changes.

  • Block any pay increase for entire Congress.
    The entire country has been affected by their individual lack of consideration and empathy by their actions. I understand that a great many of them are millionaires already. Yet they continue to pay "chicken" with people' lives. GIVE THEM NO INCREASE - they haven's earned it!

  • Rescind the congressional pay raise
    The 1.5% pay raise given to Congress is a travesty. Members of Congress barely work half a week. Due to their entrenched ideological positions and intranigence, they accomplish nearly nothing for the nation. They do not deserve an increase in salaries.

  • Confederate Flag taken down in front of SC Capitol Building
    The last bastion of racism that is accepted is the Confederate Flag. The flag still flies in front of the South Carolina Capitol Building, and it must be taken down.

  • Cut Congress Members Pay
    Members of the United States Congress have utterly failed to do their job in protecting the welfare of this country. Their inability to resolve differences and be effective is shameful. They deserve a pay cut.

  • Reforms for Congress
    U.S Congress should suffer a $20,00 penalty forany future 'over the cliff' type stand still action. Filibusters MUST MEET ORIGINAL RULES. A physical body must stand on floor, speaking, dancing, whatever; but must BE THERE!
