• Congressional Pay and Budget Cuts
    With all the talk of cutting citizen's entitlement spending, the Congress should be given Medicare instead of their expensive government health plans and Reduce each Congressman's Staff Budgets and Salaries, before cutting the average citizen's Health care coverage and Tax deductions. It just a small amount in the overall scheme of things, but they were the one responsible for the entire deficit, which no one outside of Congress voted to overspend in the first place.

  • It time that our Congress get on with their jobs!
    If I didn't do my job at work, I would either be written up or let go. What is the consequence for Congress not doing the people's work. Four day work weeks? Paid trips home? I think they should not get paid when they don't do their job>

  • Freeze all pay and benefits for members of our do-nothing Congress
    We as a nation are facing a fiscal cliff and our elected officials in both the House and the Senate have refused to work together. The need for bipartisanship is more important than ever and they still refuse to do so. Now the impending deadline is upon us.

  • Fair Compensation
    Our senators and representatives no longer represent the average working American. They have lost touch with the problems faced by working Americans. They recess while they should be working on solving they many budget and health issues that face our country. Its time they faced the problems of middle class Americans. Cut their salary and benefits back to the level of the working class. maybe then we will have representation.

  • ELECTED GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE INCOME PAY RATE
    The lack of efficient government duties that have led our nation into an economically deficient situation for its citizens has reached the epitome of incompetence; therefore the rate of compensation should reflect that effort!

  • Pledge to Vote Out My Legislators
    Our legislators were elected to work for us. They are refusing to do so with endless filibustering, or simply refusing to support or even allow votes on important legislation that would benefit the American people. This pledge is designed to send a message to our legislators that if they do not vote for our interests, we will not vote for them.
