Democratic Congressman Mitchell Works To Block Congressional Pay Increase. . .

. . . with support of Ron Paul. This is being reported on at FortBendNow.com.

Quote from Dr. Paul:

Turning down our automatic pay increase this year is the least Congress could do to demonstrate fiscal responsibility and solidarity with our constituents in these tough economic times. Much more needs to be done to reduce the size and expense of government, but passing this legislation would be a start.

Quote from Congressman Mitchell:

We’re in the midst of a recession, and our elected leaders need to do the right thing. For Congress to give itself a pay raise at a time when so many hardworking Americans are suffering is unconscionable.
