As Federal Employees, we work hard, long, and tirelessly to serve both our government and the civilians of the United States. We have not been given an annual raise by our Congress or our President for three years. Yet, in that time, our taxes have increased, our costs for insurance and health care have increased, an food and fuel costs have increased. Effectively, we are now earning less than we did ten years ago. We are simply asking for a fair, living wage for the work we do. We are hurting, and our Congresspeople and President are playing games with our salaries and holding us hostage. We ask that the games stop, and that our salaries be restored to where they would be had not the powers that be decided to punish us for the work we do, and continue to do.
