Sequester Pay Cuts For Americans Should Include Congress Salaries

Posted on February 28, 2013 by Jueseppi B.

By Jueseppi B.

Here’s an TheObamaCrat.Com™ soapbox moment:

Congress is about to impose furloughs amounting to a 20% across-the-board pay cut for 800,000 federal employees, more than 44 percent of whom are veterans.

And yet, where is the same 20% cut for Congress and the president? Are they not federal employees? Aren’t these the people who keep telling us that everyone must share the burden?

The across-the-board cuts set to go into effect at the end of the week will hurt the economy and they should be stopped.

But if Congress insists on cutting anyone’s salary, they should cut their own paychecks first. We pay their salaries. That’s why I created petition on MoveOn.org’s petition site, SignOn.org, which says:

Any across-the-board pay cuts for federal employees must include the same pay cuts for all members of Congress and the president of the United States.

Click here to add your name to this petition, and then pass it along to your friends.

It’s up to us to demand that if members of Congress pass these unnecessary and harmful cuts—despite overwhelming public opposition—that they start with themselves.

Pay cuts for federal workers should not exempt Congress or the President.

Sign the petition

To be perfectly clear on what should be done with Congressional & Senatorial abuse of power, no elected Congressional or Senatorial person should be legally allowed to vacation or break while governmental issues are unresolved. No vacation or breaks until you pass legislation that has been tabled, filibustered or not yet resolved that is on the official docket for the current session. PERIOD.

Americans pay the salaries of our Congress and Senate elected officials so why are we paying for employees who don’t do their jobs?

Interested in shrinking government and cutting wasteful spending? Start with the “don’t do jack shit” 113th Congress and Senate.

Some Of My Political Heroes

Posted on November 15, 2012 by Jueseppi B.

After a brutal election cycle peppered with sexist attacks, a historic slate of women will serve in the 113th Congress.

U.S. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat from California, center left, is applauded by female House Democrats during a news conference at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., on Nov. 14, 2012. Pelosi, the first female speaker when Democrats controlled the chamber from 2007 to 2011, said she will stay for another two-year term.

“America has never been about what can be done for us. It’s about what can be done by us, together, through the hard and frustrating but necessary work of self-government. That’s the principle we were founded on.”
