Rep. Mitchell's floor speech regarding H.R. 5146

Reps. Mitchell and Ron Paul (R-Texas) have led the charge in the House to stop Congressional pay increases, last year proposing legislation in the House that ultimately blocked this years FY 2010 pay raise, and proposing a new bill this year to block a pay raise for Members of Congress in FY 2011. As of Tuesday, the legislation had gained broad bipartisan support from 132 co-sponsors, nearly a third of the members in the House. The National Taxpayers Union and Citizens Against Government Waste have also endorsed H.R. 4255.

Russ Feingold, democrat, throughout his 6-year term, he accepts only the rate of pay that senators received on the date on which he was sworn in as a senator. He returns to the Treasury any pay raises; He has returned tens of thousands of dollars to date. He doesn't take a raise until his bosses, the people of Wisconsin, give him one at the ballot box.
