Tell Congress To Take A Pay Cut!

The last time Congress cut its pay: April 1, 1933.

Salary – $174,000 per year, as of 2009

535 Senators and Representatives

Rough estimate of savings – $24,000,000

As the economy continues to lean closer toward a depression and Americans are losing their jobs and homes we ask that our elected officials do their part to help cut costs.

We want all members of congress to take an immediate 25% pay cut and that a wage-freeze begin immediately. This wage-freeze should remain in effect until the economy has completely recovered.

We want our elected members of congress to begin paying into social security instead of their privately funded retirement program.

We want our elected members of congress to pay their own way to and from work and for their meals (like the rest of us) instead of using a government expense account. This should also include using your own vehicle versus a government car.

These are hard times in America and your jobs are secure at least until the next election. Ours are not. We are losing our homes and forced to pay into social security and being a public servant should not equate to being an elitist.

This time around, a loyal trio,
Made up of Brown, Collins and Snowe;
Unlike that of Snowe, Collins and Specter
Who launched Obama's “Stimulus Show”.

When the moving finger has writ and moved on
The latter trio is destined to share
A place in the roster of infamy
With Bart Stupak whose fecklessness launched ObamaCare.

And, just think, Bart has remained in the public arena,
Participating yesterday in the “Inquisition Game”–
Extracting an extra pound of flesh from a representative of “Big Oil”–
For his own abandonment of principle showed absolutely no shame.

And he and his colleagues, like folks in the White House,
For their own fecklessness need to atone,
Focus more on doing than saying,
And with the real business of the country, get on!

Who epitomize what Huey P. liked to call “Big Oil”

A Haiku

They all sold us out
No UI insurance left
Guess I will eat cake

Its the right-wingers who are anti-American, anti-worker, anti-family, anti-children, anti-community, anti-environment, anti-peace(“Talk Big and Carry an Even Bigger Stick”). They think Profits and Property come before People and Planet and think all the rest of us ought to have to the same lack of Human Morals and Behavior. No wonder Bad Things happen when your main Motivators are Power, Wealth, Status(Snobbery), and Access. Benjamin Disraeli said “Conservative Government is an organized Hypocrisy”. Look and Listen to how we treat each other in this GREAT NATION. Look at how the Americans in Congress alone treat a lot of their fellow Americans, such Contempt. And then there is the rest of US. We are against each other in some way, some form. We aren't taking care of each other or our communities or Our World. America is one big fat Dysfunctional Family. We attack Our own Family(in this case American), We are not so great towards each other, in fact We AMERICANS can be done right rotten to each other.

I just don't get it! Common sense tells you that we better start taking care of America before things get ugly. The vast majority of the people I talk to are fed up with all that is going on in Washington and I feel the desperation growing. What do our great leaders think will happen when the $#*^ hits the fan?

Finally! Someone even angrier than I am about the GOBP.

The divide between the parties has grown so wide, there is no civil debate anymore. The GOBP will stop, if they can, any legislation that helps the people, under the guise of “fiscal responsibility”.
After the Bush fiasco, taxes were inevitable. No infrastructure spending for eight years, two wars (one of them useless, with four thousand dead, including some of my buddies), and a military-industrial complex that bled our tax dollars into the pockets of a few rich white guys later, the national debt is at an all-time high. Now is not the time to be talking about fiscal responsibility.
Since the right has no ideas beyond saving their own political skins and putting more money into their own pockets (forget us, we're “the small people” that BP exec gaffed in front of cameras the right drooled over), I think the word is out how to vote come November, and 2012. Forget the baggers. they're the extremist segment of the GOBP. All they are is comedy relief.
Don't take the nonsense to heart. The American people spoke unequivocally in 2008, regardless of anything you might hear to the contrary, by the largest margin in voting history! That's what's got the right so pissed off, they won't do anything constructive. Fine. We just vote them out. The negative sentiment I've seen this last year and a half toward the GOBP is so loud, we will see the positive change President Obama promised shortly.
Take heart! The sandbaggers and malingerers in Congress are on a time limit.
