Let's Give Congress a Pay Cut

Adam challenges the GOP to join him in his pledge to accept only the national average income when elected. For more information, see the original video that this was taken from.

Adam has also pledged to submit legislation that would peg Congressional salaries to the national average as soon as he is elected. Several candidates have pledged their support as co-sponsors of such a bill.

I don't want Kokesh in Congress... I want him in the Oval Office.

Adam, I support you 100%. Over the past few days I've been thinking that congress needs to take a paycut. I wish someone currently in office would put a bill foward so all Americans could see who really supports them.

2009 -> $170k

2011 -> 193k

Republicans dont really care about the American people. I mean sorry that came out wrong. They dotn care about the middle and low income American people. All they care about is money and making money and living a good life provided by the tax payer, wage a pointless war and blame Democrats when they try to fix everything. Clinton fixed father Bush and Obama WILL FIX Bush's mistakes, GOP needs to get off his nuts because history shows, DEMOCRATS boosts the ECONOMY.

Adam, when is the primary and how well are you polling?

[hirize1]

A wonderful challenge that you can bet the thugs in congress will not even consider since they are there to steal every penny they can. Thanks Adam for being a real patriot and good luck in your upcoming election!

That'll be the day....when they vote themselves a pay cut instead of a COL payraise like they just received.

Great idea, might set a volunteer term limit when our elected representatives realize the private sector pays better than staying in office.

[Deleanredtiger]

How about two times because I think you work to hard for that Adam.

[1952Bebe]

That was great, Adam! Let's see if you get any takers...
