Petition to limit the compensation of elected officials to a multiple of the US median family income, currently $53,657.

This act would limit compensation of the members of the three branches of the federal Government to a multiple of the US median household income. Thus tying the fortunes of the peoples representatives to the fortunes of the people they represent. An example of this would be:
