Three weeks ago we started a drive to get 5000 signatures on a petition to cut congressional pay. That document has until the 24th to gain the 900 or so necessary names to be placed on the President's desk. If you haven't seen it and it's a cause worth your signature, here's the link:

The White House has a new program that allows average citizens to post petitions on any subject. Any petition that gets at least 5000 signatures gets news coverage and government attention. (The largest so far is a petition to legalize pot with 18,000 signatures).

I got the idea that, with a 12 percent approval rating, congressmen and senators of BOTH parties should take a pay cut of their own before asking any of us lose benefits and services. This SHOULD be a bi-partisan idea."

I am a freelance writer and Progressive Democrat researching a book on term limits. I welcome your (constructive) comments!
