To: President Donald Trump, The United States House of Representatives, and The United States Senate
Sequester This!
Contact your representatives today and express your concern about the impending sequester. Remind them that the current salary for rank-and-file members of the House and Senate is $174,000 (for a mere 126 workdays per year), plus medical and pension benefits funded by taxpayers. Tell your Senators and Representatives they should not be lining their pockets while imposing this severe program of cuts that will impact most other Americans.
Why is this important?
The impending sequester will spur widespread spending cuts that will cost numerous jobs and adversely affect the lives of millions of people. Immediate shutdowns will impact education, medical services, construction projects and economic recovery. The sequester is a reckless political gamble engineered by Congressmen who will continue to receive generous government handouts in the form of big paychecks, first class medical coverage and guaranteed pension for retirement.
