Editor,

I submitted the following to our Alaska Congressional members. The Constitution of the United States prohibits Congress from passing any law that exempts Congress from being included. The Congressional majority is shredding that precious Document at every turn.

There must be a tipping point soon to address this wrong direction.

This following is but a small taste of what Congress is about and how it affects. Yes, the basis of COLA rules dictated no increase to SS this year. Yet, Congress voted themselves a healthy pay raise in spite of the zero cost of living increasing. While the names given below are Democrate. Senator Begich and our Republicans Sen. Murkowski and Representative Young willingly accepted the pay increases.

Include this issue as you await the outcome of a National Health Care package, which incidentally, Congress has exempted themselves.

Regards,

To my Congressional members,

This just came to me and yes, I am forewarding to every person that I email with.

Your U.S. House & Senate have voted themselves$4,700 and $5,300 raises.
1. They voted to not give you a Social Security cost of living raises in 2010 and 2011.
2. Your Medicaid premiums will go up $285.60 for the 2-years and you will not get the 3% COLA: $660/yr. Your total 2-yr loss and cost is -$1,600 or -$3,200 for husband and wife.
3. Over 2-yrs, they each get $10,000
4. Do you feel SCREWED- or now used to it?
5. Will they have to bear the same cost of drugs - doctor fees - local taxes - food, etc., increases that you must bear? NO WAY. They have a raise and better benefits. Why care about you? You never did anything about it in the past. You obviously are too stupid or don't care.
6. Do you really think that Nancy, Harry, Chris, Charlie, Barnie, et al, care about you? SEND THE MESSAGE-- You're FIRED.

IN 2010 YOU WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO GET RID OF THE SITTING CONGRESS: Up to 1/3 OF THE SENATE, AND 100% OF THE HOUSE.

MAKE SURE YOU'RE STILL MAD IN NOVEMBER 2010 - AND REMIND THEIR REPLACEMENTS NOT TO SCREW UP.
