Steve Pearce: Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is

You told furloughed federal workers to take out personal loans to cover their bills while you play politics with their paychecks.

As one of the richest millionaires in Congress, you should cover the costs furloughed workers incur.

Steve Pearce: Put your money where your mouth is. If you believe personal loans are the answer, I urge you to start offering them to furloughed workers from your own bank account.

Why is this important?

Tea Party Congressman Steve Pearce votes against the needs of his constituents time and time again.

He's one of the richest millionaires in Congress and a member of the minority Tea Party caucus that is holding the government closed.

Now he told furloughed federal workers struggling to pay their bills that they should take out personal loans and go into debt while he continues to play politics with their paychecks.
