Stop bleeding the coffers: in these economically harsh times, if there's not enough money for us, there's not enough money for them to retire at full salary and health benefits.
Why is this important?
changing the laws which allow State and Federal senators retirement packages. This huge drain on our resources might be corrected and free up an enormous amount of money. Why care? We the ordinary people simply can't afford the expense.
We need to firmly yet kindly let our representatives know that we can't afford to carry the dead wood any longer.
