Stop the pay of Congress during government shutdown.

Created by C.W. on September 21, 2013

Members of Congress are paid with federal government funds. If the government shuts down due to budget disagreements, why is the pay for federal civilian employees stopped but pay for Congress continues? Stop their pay too and they will come to an agreement and avoid a shutdown! Federal civilian employees have endured enough this year with 6 unpaid furlough days from July-August and enough is enough! Our families need to eat!
