Introduce a bill: Members of Congress will not get paid in any year that the federal government shuts down.

Created by D.S. on October 01, 2013

In any year that Congress does not pass legislation to fund the federal government, thereby leading to a government shutdown, members of Congress will collect no salary for that year.

This petition asks the White House to introduce a bill in Congress to make this measure the law of the land.
