Stop the pay increases of the VP and Members of Congress eff March 2013

President Barack Obama’s newest executive order will end the pay freeze on federal employees, giving some federal workers a raise, including Vice President Joe Biden And members of Congress!  

Biden will earn $231,900 beginning March 2013, a $6,000 increase from the previous year.
President Obama's executive order can be found here:

Members of the House and Senate will also get a pay increase of $900. Their compensation will increase to $174,900 in 2013.  

The timing of the executive order is an outrage as Obama and Congress are unable to provide a balanced budget and the country is unable to avoid a fiscal crisis with Americans facing higher taxes.

Please tell President Obama that there should be no pay increases until the budget can support it through fiscal responsibility and job performance. They are taking our tax increase to pay for their poor performance!  

No pay increases until they do the job we elected them to do!  

Please share this with your friends.   Copy the link above and email your friends.

Thank you!  


Letter to
President Obama
Stop the pay increases of the VP and Members of Congress effective March 2013! You are sending the wrong message to the American people! Until we have a balanced budget, and responsible job performance by the Vice President and members of Congress, there should be NO pay increases. We are against taxing Americans to pay for the pay increases of Congress. Fiscal responsibility is called for at this critical time in America. Accountability for the job they are doing is the message we need to send by saying NO to any pay increase!
