To: President Donald Trump, The United States House of Representatives, and The United States Senate
Demand change in Congressional payment.
Hello,
I'm requesting an ammendment be made to the manner in which a congressman/woman, senator, and president recieve payment.
The idea is simple. Have the pay that is recieved annually cut in half, regardless of party, until the economic situation (whether it is the current situation or future ones) begins to subside and improve. This will apply to the current and all future members regardless of when they come into office before and durring the economic situation. Thank you.
Sincerely,
A hopeful citizen

Why is this important?
I'm writing to aks Congress (yes Congress themselves and the Senate along with the President) to cone together and change the way they recieve compensation for their work as elected officials. Instead of having them recieve payment that is unaffected during tough economic times they should ammend the way they recieve payment based on whether the economy is doing well or not. If the economy is in the slumps, then their pay gets cut in half until the economy shows signs of improvement. And won't return to its full ammount until the economy and job situation has reached the level it was at before it was considered bad. A simple ammendment to help in these difficult times.
