Please propose a section to the CR which will ensure that members of Congress experience the same conditions as those they should be honored to serve.
Remove lifetime health care provisions from yourselves and be subject the same cuts and exploding fees that this CR will inflict on your constituents. No more lifetime pensions for the current elected members who are not doing the job they swore to do. You fail your oath to the constitution? No pension for you. Mike Johnson shuts down the house and sends you home instead of addressing the demand to release the Epstein files? No lifetime pension.
You allow the constitutionally enshrined power of congress to be unconstitutionally usurped by the executive? No salary for you.
In any other workplace if people spoke about their colleagues and those they should serve, they would face discipline ave maybe dismissal.
This Congress is a disgrace to the framers ideals, to the constitution, and the maga extremist measures bring everything they touch into disrepute.
Do not cave. NO CR without guarantees.
NO optimal health care and benefits for congress while it slashes those things from your constituents.
If you have free time on your hands, take a lesson from the storm scene in King Lear:
"Poor naked wretches, wheresoe’er you are,
That bide the pelting of this pitiless storm,
How shall your houseless heads and unfed sides,
Your looped and windowed raggedness defend
you
From seasons such as these? O, I have ta’en
Too little care of this. Take physic, pomp.
Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel,
That thou may’st shake the superflux to them
And show the heavens more just. "
