Lower the Presidents and Representatives Salary
The Goal is to lower the Presidents and Representatives salary. Representatives both on the Republican and Democratic side of the fence make $150,000.00 to $400,000.00 per year. In hard times of the economy the government has not once mentioned lowering the pay for the government or President.
Even with cut back in other areas and Americans out of work why should the people we hire to represent us be paid to not represent us. Lowering the pay for the President and Representatives of the people sends a strong message that they are not doing the job they where elected to do. Why should the American people be struggling for jobs, losing homes, and having to choose between paying for a home, gas or food for the family. The people that represent us do not want to make any sacrifices but expect us the people to do it. So we believe the petition to lower the salary of the President and the Representatives will make an overall statement and also help cut back spending.
