A new direction..

Wow...
Its really rare that what you want to happen, actually happens.

I have a new opportunity that I intend to take full advantage of.  I'm coming home, off the road, and its awesome.  I get to work in Little Rock, and be with my family, and do something I enjoy with people I like.

Can you really get anything better then that?  I get to work in a position where I can really enjoy myself, the work isn't mind numbing, and I can focus on my family, finishing my degree, making some good political gains, and doing some work on the house in the weekends.

I have a M-F job, and an opportunity to get ahead and make some real inroads on some ventures I have been working on for quite a while.

This should be fun!

The Next Amendment

How much do CongressMen/Women/People earn?

Salary for the avg person is close to $175,000.

Talk about needing a SERIUOS review!!!  and they can vote themselves a payraise!!  WHAT THE HECK!!!  The get everything paid for, and then get a salary that puts them out of touch with 90% of america?  There is an unjustice my friends.

My Proposal, Federally elected congressional peoples get a salary equal to the povery level in their district.  They also will be required to disclose all of their earnings for that year, and if any are found to have come from the result of legislation that they were involved in, they should be penalized heavily.  They should also be held accountable for their attendance in congress, every day the miss is the number of days in session  divided by their salary which will include all the benifits they receive.

Now... the problems that still have to be figured out in this are obvious, keeping them from raising minimum wage simple for their own gain, and not over penalizing to the point where they owe the government more then they earn.

But..... the idea is out there.


Who thinks a single congress man/woman/person would support this?
