• Suspend Congressional Salaries.
    The government shutdown by the GOP constitutes gross malfeasance. This needless action has placed 800,000 federal employees on indefinite furlough without pay. It is the responsibility of Congress to pass a budget and keep our government funded. They have utterly failed to do this, so they should have their pay suspended until they are able to do their job. NO BUDGET, NO PAY!

  • Cancel Congressional pensions, vacation pay, and health insurance
    My house is falling apart and my taxes are too high to afford, even though my husband and I both work. I have a friend who doesn't have health insurance and is worried daily about getting sick. We need to stand up to big money, and the politicians who are holding the government ransom, and get back to what this country is about--the people.

  • Government shuts down--no pay for Congress. Compromise!
    The working class always has to suffer when Congress is too selfish to compromise over government spending. They work for US! When they allow a government shutdown, or make any other decision causing hardworking Americans to suffer, they too should suffer and not get paid.

  • Recall my Congressman
    We the people don't control anything anymore: not our banks, not our privacy, not our food systems, not our education. This is the example of "democracy" that we're setting for the world to follow. Join me in petitioning Congress to take up a bill that enables the people who elected them to recall wayward Congressmen and hold them accountable to the job they were elected to do.

  • Minimum Wage For Congress
    They fuss and argue about anything that helps the middle class and the masses. They mismanage funds, push their dirt under the rug and they all deserve to make minimum wages and get the same healthcare the masses have.

  • No budget. No salary for Congress.
    The economy of the country is being held hostage by a few Congressmen, who have failed to do their jobs. Let them feel the pinch of their own folly. If they force a shutdown, they receive no salaries until the issue is resolved.
