Reduce congress' wages to federal minimum wage, and only pay for the hours they work.

Created by T.G. on May 12, 2013

This year congressman Eric Cantor will work 126 days and earn 200K.
His response? A bill to eliminate Overtime pay for hourly workers. This is outrageous and uncalled for.
We, the people, petition a new system for Congressman's pay.
We petition the Obama administration to cut congress' pay to federal minimum wage, and only pay congress for the hours they are at work. Whatever left over money there is can go directly into fixing the deficit, and once the deficit has been fixed, to fund education, unemployment, and other projects.
We the people believe it is unfair that congress earns so much money, while making so little progress due to political difference. We believe that once money is no longer a factor, we may finally find progress in congress.
