Fine every Senator and Congressman $1000.00 for every missed vote or "Present" vote.

Created by D.A. on January 13, 2013

We elect these folks to do one thing, vote in our stead. Why should they ever be absent or simply vote "Present" as a way of avoiding their jobs. I think that if we hit them in their wallets, they may wake up and realize what they were elected to do. $1000.00 for every missed or "Present" vote might just garner a little attention from them and toss that money into the General fund. Us common folks have to live by rules why not them?
