The 27th Amendment states, “No law, varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives, shall take effect, until an election of representatives shall have intervened.”
So...when did Congress vote itself this raise? If it was passed after last month’s election, it cannot take effect until after the 2010 election.
Anyway, we can undo this?
After all, they need to sacrifice to for the country. It’s only FAIR.
This article expresses everything that I have been upset about over the past weeks. I mean, I could have written it is so spot on!
Stupid Congress, stupid Blagojevich, stupid Al Franken and the roll over & play dead GOP, no one bothers to care about anything unless it involves being racially or (homo)sexually “offended”, and finally the exact same reason I admire Sarah Palin. She is one of us and she had the nerve to stand up and say “NO NO NO, you are doing this all wrong. Move over and I’ll show you how it’s supposed to be done.” Sarah got punished in the media (left and right wing) for NOT being a politician and that is exactly what the average American loves about her.
Where else can your employer give you a job approval rating of 9%, and you still get a raise?
Of course, where else do you get to set your own salary?
Most all employees with an approval rating of 9% usually get canned.
