Congress is often talking about ending "Entitlements" lately. But what about THEIR entitlements? All members of congress recieve:
- Premium Federal Healthcare for themselves and their families for LIFE
- Paid salary and pension for LIFE
These, among many other extraordinary benefits, are given to every solitary congress member, former congress member and former presidents. The average American gets none of this. What other profession can you get a job, do a poor job, leave that job, and continue to get paid by that job for life?
It's time we, as Americans, let them know this is unacceptable. It's time for our leaders to be leaders. Real leaders put the good of their people before themselves. It's the opposite in Washington. Cuts to education, fire, police, and other public programs that benefit all Americans are constantly being proposed and executed, but there's never any reduction to their benefits. It's time our so-called leaders put their country first. There are billions of dollars to save if they eliminate their own Entitlements.
Sign this petition and let Washington know where we stand. This is an issue that any tax-paying American, no matter what party affiliation, should be in favor of putting into action.
Tell Congress enough is enough. Be true leaders. Put country first. End your own Entitlements, Washington. End Lifetime salaries and healthcare for congress.
Congress, all of you, should be ashamed of what you have become; tackle your internal greed and problems for a start

This is our country, and it is time to decentralize government and give the people the congressional vote through the internet. That way, votes cannot be bought anymore.
