The American public is tired of the lies coming from Congress and cynical about their ability to lead the nation and whether they truly represent the people. Occasionally, a congressman will come along and inspire the nation with an idea or a proposal that resonates and suggests that our representatives actually do care about our well being.
Iowa Republican Representative Rod Blum introduced legislation Friday that seems to be that type of proposal, though there are many who will feel it is just for show and will never come to an actual vote. Nevertheless, it is worth considering and following, because it could set a standard for future debate in coming years.
See Rep. Rod Blum’s proposed legislation on page 2:
NEVER HAPPEN ! Self Centerd CONGRESS does not have the gutts to DO THAT THEY ONLY THINK OF THEMSELVES talk about being UN AMERICAN thats the CAPITIAL ( WHITE HOUSE AND CONGRESS ) !!!!!!

Salaries should be cut until they earn the trust of American people. Look at the money America could save.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah they kept us seniors from getting the little puddly cost of living raise because something about the some rate?? Anyways in the meantime everything is increasing like groceries, meds etc. but congress needs a raise we don’t? That’s c**p!!! We have to decide about paying bills insurance included or eating. You going to die one way or another. Now gas is finally a decent price and Obama wants to add more taxes on that. Cannot win for losing!!!!! Lord help us all!! Just remember all you Richie rich people you can’t take it with you. Remember about the rich man who was so stingy he would not even give the poor hungry man a piece of bread who was starving at his gate. He just passed him by. Then when he dies and does not make it into heaven because he never helped the poor hungry. He begs to be able to come back and tell his brothers not to be stingy and help all they can but he could not. Don’t wait until you are headed the wrong way help the poor!!!!
