Rescind the executive order signed by President Barack Obama which gives a pay raise to the members of Congress.

Created by D.G. on January 01, 2013

We the people of the United States of America request that President Barack Obama rescind the Executive Order he signed which gives a pay raise to the members of Congress.The 2011-12, 112th Congress is possibly the least productive Congress since the end of World War II.
The approval ratings of the Americans whom elected these officials is approximately 18%, hardly a figure reflecting acceptable job performance or trustworthiness. With Americans having to tighten down on household budgets, the number of unemployed with little or no income, and the near poverty levels of our elderly on Social Security not to mention the overall condition of the U.S., It's unconscionable and inconceivable that Congress be rewarded for their failures as Americans suffer.
