Congress: Stop the gridlock, and get back to work.

For too long Congress has gridlocked and filibustered its way to the brink of international economic disaster, to the detriment of the electorate without any consequence for its actions. We (your constituents) are called upon to bear the brunt of this behavior; to work harder, longer, for less pay, surrounded by crumbling infrastructure, declining opportunities and ever growing expenses for fewer and fewer services, AND pay our taxes (for your salaries) without recourse. Therefore, until you fulfill your mandated responsibilities, we will freeze your pay scale and suspend the 70% employer contribution subsidy of your FEHBP policies to help you better understand our predicament. Our hope is that it will remind you of why you were elected to your offices and what you were sent there to do.
