Thread: did you know???

Though many of you on my mailing list are not affected by this, chances are someone in your family, or friends are.

KEEP THIS SOME PLACE FOR NEXT YEAR FOR REFERENCE WHEN ELECTIONS COME AROUND!!!

Your U.S. House & Senate have voted themselves salary increases of $4,700 and $5,300 respectively.

1. They voted to NOT give you a S.S. cost of living increase in 2010 and 2011.

2. 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-year loss and cost is -$1,600; or -$3,200 for husband and wife.

3.Over the same 2-years your congressperson and senator will each receive roughly $10,000 more than they get today.

4. Do you feel S#$%d?

5. Will these same congress people and senators have to absorb your ever increasing cost of drugs - doctor fees - local taxes-food, etc.? Of course not. NO WAY. They have a raise and better benefits. Why care about you? You never did anything about it in the past; and they’re counting on you doing nothing about it this time, either!

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

SEND THEM THIS MESSAGE -- YOU’RE FIRED!

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

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

Our gov't no longer cares about us. I am especially worried about the way the gov't is preparing to treat the most vulnerable among us.
