We request that the Obama Administration sign an executive order that reduces congressional pay between 30%-50%.

The majority of people believe that members of Congress are paid too much. Because this is a public service position, I feel as though they should take a pay cut between 30% and 50% of their base salary. Congress's popularity is at an all time low and they should take a pay cut. Those that decide to enter public service on a state and local level get paid so little. It only seems fair that members of Congress should take a pay cut.
