This petition is for the current Congress to create a law that would allow for military members to get paid during government shutdowns. As the military is a non-partisan entity, members should not be subjected to adverse effects of pay while Congress is debating budget spending. This would ease tensions on already stressed military families during these times of crisis. Previous measures to allow military to receive pay have only been temporary. Drafting a new bill would allow for military pay to be unaffected during political debates on spending.
