    Congressman

    Just how would an average taxpaying registered voter go about having any say about a congressman's wages, pensions ,healthcare and perks.

    I think most of us do not begrudge them a decent salary , healthcare and even a pension. However as they vote thier own everything what can we honestly do to stop this?

    They just voted themselves a $1.63 per hour raise IF they work a 40 hour week 52 weeks a year. And we all know they probably don't do that.

    Not trolling, I really want to know if there is any legal provisions for effecting anything concerning any politician above the Govenor.

    My best guess is to write to a Congressman, not trying t be smart, and realize he'll earn more by answering, but he's the puke that supported it. Tell the C-man like it is. Might make a difference, might not, but when the C-men decide to rip us off, the most we can do is complain right back to the source. (Or if you see him in a bar, just say "hi", then deck him)

    Thanks Bob, We have really screwed up there is NO way to fix the problem so we might as we all go on welfare and wait on the day of reckoning . It can't be too far away ,it makes be so mad I could just load up the boat and go fishing. Problem is I just wrote a check to the gubment for $3,700.00 and gas is $4.00 a gallon so its looking like I may ride my bicycle

    grumpy , I did not keep track of the sight I just typed in Congreman perks and this site came up which showed the raise figures. As anything that comes over the internet is questionable I DON'T know or have any way to prove its accuracy or authinticity. I know they don't get paid by the hour cause that means they would only make a couple thousand a year. my post said (They just voted themselves a $1.63 per hour raise IF they work a 40 hour week 52 weeks a year. And we all know they probably don't do that.) I don't know how accurate this is and I have a $100.00 bill says you nor anyone else will be able to get a accurate final figure as too how much money in actual folding green and incidental perks these assholes get. And no I don't care if they are pubs ,dems or communist they need GONE
