Start getting ready for the November, 2010 elections. Remember the motto (unless you like being abused): If they're "IN," they're "OUT!"
Remember this on the 2010 Election Day. . . .Your U.S. House & Senate voted themselves $4,700 and $5,300 raises.
BUT
They voted to not give you a Social Security cost of living raise in 2010 and 2011.
Your Medicare premiums will go up $285.60 for those 2-years and you will not get the 3% COLA or $660/yr. Your total 2-year loss and cost is $1,600 or $3,200 for husband and wife. Plain enough?
Every member of Congress will get an added $10,000 which is putting them very close to $200,000 per year. They've exempted themselves from the healthcare changes they wish to enact on us. Sounds like an elite class to me.
Do you feel taken advantaged of? They vote themselves a raise and better benefits. They only care about WE THE PEOPLE on election day, right? You never did anything about it in the past. The time for action is near!!!!
Do you really think that Nancy, Barbara, Patty, Harry, Chris, Charlie, Barney, John Murtha, et al, care about you? SEND THE MESSAGE --- You're FIRED.
Our present elected representatives do not care a whit about you and what you want. They are loyal to their party only. They are bribeable, corrupt and only do what is in their OWN best interest. They have completely ignored the massive debt this country is in and are increasing it without regard to the taxpayers who will have to pay for it. THEY DO NOT LISTEN.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT POLITICAL PARTIES! IN 2010 YOU WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO GET RID OF Up to 1/3 OF THE SENATE AND 100% OF THE HOUSE.
The election in 2010 should be a sea-change to the mind set of any member of Congress who may survive.
Remember: The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
