As Congress debates austerity, we think it only appropriate that austerity begins at home (House and Senate). We are asking for Congress to reduce their pay 30%, get a healthcare plan just like the average worker, do away with the pension, get a 401k, enter the Social Security and Medicare systems like the rest of us.

One hundred people have signed on to demand that Congress lives by the same rules they impose on us. I am exhausted by the constant uphill grind of this fight but seeing these signatures proves there are others who see this injustice clearly.
