and change the average Congress member's wage to match that of the average American they represent

This change is important because it will help limit the terms of Congressmen and Women who are simply collecting a big paycheck instead of making a change. It will help fill Congressional seats with people who are fighting to make a change for the good of our entire country, instead of simply agreeing with their party in an effort to keep their high paying job. Most importantly, it will send a message to the hardworking people of the United States of America that their laws are not being set by out-of-touch millionaires but by real Americans who want to make a difference for this country.
