Your U.S. House & Senate have voted themselves $4,700 and $5,300 raises.
1. They voted to not give you a Social Security cost of living raise in 2010 and 2011.
2. Your Medicaid premiums will go up $285.60 for the 2-years and
you will not get the 3% COLA: $660/yr. Your total 2-yr loss and cost is -$1,600 or -$3,200 for husband and wife.
3. Over 2-yrs they ea. get $10,000
4. Do you feel betrayed?
5. Will they have your cost of drugs - doctor fees - local taxes - food, etc., increase? NO WAY . They have a raise andbetter benefits. Why care about you? Do you really think that Nancy, Harry, Chris, Charlie, Barney, care about you? Nope!


IF YOUR TICKED OFF ABOUT THIS, SEND THIS MESSAGE-- IN 2010 YOU WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO GET RID OF THE SITTING CONGRESS: Up to 1/3 OF THE SENATE, & 100% OF THE HOUSE.

MAKE SURE YOU'RE STILL MAD IN NOVEMBER 2010 AND... REMIND THEIR REPLACEMENTS NOT TO DO THE SAME THING!!!

Congress setting their own salary is conflict of interest. I believe their compensation package should be set by a vote of the people they represent. That is who they work for after all. A senator from Iowa may have a different paycheck than a senator from New York. That ok. All us common folk have a different pay package.
