      <description><![CDATA[Matt Niemeyer, Mattoon, IL, United States of America<p>Pay them the average in their district.  Close Washington and move them back to their district.  Give them a meager expense acount.  Make them log in everyday, who they met with, where they went, what was discussed.  Maybe video everything all the time.  They would better represent their constituents if they actually talked with, ate with, and lived with all the time.  They obviously live in their own little world right now.  That is NOT GOOD FOR AMERICA!!!</p>]]></description>

I&#039;m sick of Pelosi and Congress living the posh lifestyle while the country suffers at their hands.  How long do you all think Americans are going to put up with your crap.  You and the Pres. will NOT listen to the people on any issue, and the only solution to anything seems to be, &quot;Throw more money to it and add 12 zeros&quot;.<br />

Why are they paid so well, with abundant raises while it&#039;s people suffer more and mroe daily. Why does our gov&#039;t not have to answer for their crimes, why are they above the law? Why does Madoff (rich) get to stay in his penthouse while all others would have been in prison.<br />
Why can&#039;t we challenge OUR officals to get the truth, corruption, greed, backside deals, avoiding laws.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mrs. Patricia Anderson, Shady Spring, West Virginia, United States of America<p>The Governor decided he deserves a raise, Congress wants a raise. NONE of them deserve the pay they get now! Our economy is in the toilet ( a recession they say but a depression is what really is). I am not getting a raise this year; no bonuses ; no promotions- my company cannot afford it.<br />
What Manchin needs to do is take the funds for his raise &amp; fix our roads. I have to drive on the shoulder of my road to avoid potholes &amp; ruts. And Congress should not get a raise until I get one</p>]]></description>
