Actually, the thought of an automatic wage freeze for elected officials who fail to properly perform their duties is intriguing.

Senators and congressmen are paid to represent (serve) their constituents in particular and the American people in general, not their political party or special interests. One can clearly observe the negative ramifications that have already been incurred to date by the actions/inactions on the matter. Is a viable resolution yet on the near horizon?

Back to the pay freeze concept...play what if. On what parameters would such a measure be developed and how would it be imposed or automatically triggered? It will be interesting to see responses, don't you think?

I am not sure that flooding the office of a federal level elected official with calls and letters would have the effect that one is looking to create. Doing so would only create more work for front line administrative support personnel w/out directly impacting the elected official personally.

I would think that flooding an elected official's email address would be a more effective method of delivering the intended message.
