Stop Congress From Voting Itself Raises & Take Their Pensions

The Issue

Citizens, unless we put a stop Congressional greed then they will not stop themselves no matter what condition our budget might be in.  They do not care enough about our deficit to initiate a cut (on their salaries and benefits) so it is up to us - the people to do so.  Stop Congress from voting itself raises without a national vote.  They shall receive a salary during office and nothing afterwards.  If teachers can't have tenure then congressmen/women should not have tenure.  Also, they shall not have a raise for the next 5 years.  They will have a salary freeze and cap like other workers and a  15% cut in their salaries.      They will have the SAME social security and medical plan as all citizens.
