Harry is my representative, but he's still a loser, voted against original bailout then changed his mind. Go Ron!
Eh. Least it's help.
Barney Frank for marijuana.
Harry Mitchell for (at least some) fiscal responsibility.

He's my rep too. Harry finally gets one right.

What does Dr. Paul usually do with his raise?
call me lazy if you want, but does anyone here have a number for this bill so that i can ask my congressman to join this effort?

Found a bill number.
Do some calling, guys. If they say no, let's hear justifications why they won't disapprove their pay raise.

I sent an email through Congress.org to both of my U.S. senators and my U.S. representative and all I got were automated replies, with a meaningless commitment to get back to me later.
My original message (all were the same except the person they were addressed to is different):
Senator Chambliss:
I oppose giving Congress a pay raise this year because Congress has not
faithfully obeyed/defended/supported the Constitution of the United
States.
Short and sweet. I sent this back in mid-December when I first heard about the pay raise.

Well, you're just a taxpayer. Why get back to you? :p
