DOES CONGRESS DESERVE A PAY RAISE?
Under existing law, as part of a deal to give up outside income from speeches and other sources, Congress receives an automatic pay raise unless it votes otherwise. In January, Congress will receive a raise of $4700. This will increase the average Member's pay to about $174,000 or a 2.8% increase.
Does Congress deserve a raise this year? A bill was introduced to deny the pay increase, but it died in committee. Tell Congress what you think about this pay increase.

I voted NO! If anything they should take a pay cut. Its time to give back to some of us hard working folks that live pay check to pay check.
