Subject: Let's not be caught up with party affiations, but face the facts and act intelligenly


GRRRRRRRRRR.....!

I'm MAD AND YOU WILL BE TOO!



Your U.S. House & Senate have voted themselves $4,700 and $5,300 raises.

They voted to not give you a S.S. cost of living raise in 2010 and 2011.


Your Medicaid premiums will go up $285.60 for the 2-years

and you will not get the 3% COLA: $660/yr. Your total 2-yr loss and cost is -$1,600 or -$3,200 for husband and wife

Over 2-yrs The House & Senate each get $10,000 raises


Do you feel ABUSED, BETRAYED and DECEIVED?

WILL your cost of drugs - doctor fees - local taxes - food, etc., increase? You better believe they will!


WILL THEIRS...NO WAY . They have a raise and better benefits. Why care about you? You never did anything about it in the past.

You're obviously too stupid or don't care. No offense; just making a point!


Do you really think that Nancy, Harry, Chris, Charlie, Barnie, et al, care about you?



SEND THE MESSAGE-- You're FIRED.


IN 2010 YOU WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO GET RID OF THE SITTING CONGRESS AND Up to 1/3 OF THE SENATE, AND 100% OF THE HOUSE.



MAKE SURE YOU'RE STILL MAD IN NOVEMBER 2010 AND TELL THEIR REPLACEMENTS NOT TO SCREW UP.



It is OK to forward this to your sphere of influence if you are finally tired of the abuse.
Maybe it's time for the........
Amendment 28

"Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United
States that does not apply equally to the Senators or Representatives,
and Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators or
Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the
United States ."

Let's get this passed around, folks - these people in Washington have brought this upon themselves!!! It's time for retribution. Let's take back America .



If we don't forward this to all our friends, then WE are just part of the problem of national apathy.

IT'S TIME!!!!!!!

JUST DO IT!

Clarification on Social Security: Congress did not act to specifically not pay a cost of living adjustment (COLA). The COLA is determined by specific criteria set up years ago (don't remember when). The price index info currently used simply does a mathematical computation and produces the result that it did for this year.
On the good news front, there is proposed legislation to change the formula in such a way that there would have been a COLA increase this year. Lean on your reps in Congress and ask them where they stand.

Right on, barb1191!!!!!!!!!!

and thanx for the clarification, saratogaman

Get Rid of Incumbent Politicians

And didn't you all get a check for $200.00? I seem to remember a debate about that on this site a few months back.

'Senior moments' notwithstanding, I thought that there was a $200 or $250 one-time payment on the way but I don't recall if it has happened. Has it?
When?

Don't forget to change your politician. They are like diapers they need to be changed regularly for the same reason.
