Stop Congressional Pay Raise for 2009

Published by Lynn Fuston on Dec 23, 2008

We, the undersigned American people, ask you, the members of Congress, to take the necessary steps to rescind the pay raise you will receive on Jan. 1, 2009, either proactively or retroactively. If a consensus cannot be reached, we ask that individual Senators and Representatives give back their raises as a show of good faith.

Doing so would not only showcase your resolve in remedying our overburdened economy, but also that you indeed care about the welfare of the American people. It will show you recognize the plight of millions of Americans who cannot find work and cannot pay their bills. Most importantly, It will show that you put the concerns of the American people above your own.

Please consider this request in the spirit of unity which it is intended. To overcome these troubled times, we must all work together, sacrifice together, to strengthen each other and our country.
