The Reason for "Congress: Give It Back"

The economy is in the toilet. People's homes are being foreclosed on. Jobs are being cut by the thousands. Major corporations are going bankrupt. And in the meantime, Congress votes to give themselves a pay increase. If the automaker executives should work for a dollar a year, how about our Congresspeople? Don't you think they could forgo a raise?

The mission is to get enough people behind this movement: they need to take the extra money and send it back to the treasury. They can think of it as doing their part to live like the rest of us and to keep their country afloat.

Here's how to contact your U.S. Representative and your Senator. Pass this on to your friends, family, and neighbors. Let's make a difference!
