Congress Member’s making close to $200,000 a year, plus perks. They have free healthcare for life that includes their family. During the recession congress members assets increased over 21 % percent, while the people on “Main Street” lost 16 % percent. Don’t you think congress members can afford to have a percentage of their earnings to each of their States to go to help homeless families including veterans?
To
have all of Congress personally contribute out of their salaries that the
American citizen’s pays for through taxes have donations deducted directly from
their pay checks; to aid the homeless, hungry and families with children,
Let it be known that those members of both Houses, have for several
decades, have made empty promises to the Americans. Members of Congress have
said they care, and would help
The majority that needs the most help, the "middle-class," and
poor, the homeless that include children. They have failed, and have been responsible
for helping the "upper-Classes and the elite only. Congress has shed no
blood in wars that they created, that we did not have to engage in. They have
not sacrificed anything for America and its people.
The members of Congress will pass a bill that state" "Members of
both the Houses agree to have the following percentage deducted from their
government salaries, on the agreed amount of pay deduction will be paid to a
community based, programs of their choosing, in their States and Districts. That
the Members of both Houses serve.

middle-class morality." George Bernard Shaw.
“We the undersigned”
Let it be known that those members of both Houses, have for several decades,
have made empty promises to the Americans. Members of Congress have said they
care, and would help the majority that need the most help, the
"middle-class," and poor, the homeless that include children.
They have failed, and
have been responsible for helping the "upper-classes" and the elite
only.
Congress has shed no blood in wars that they created that we did not have to
engage in. They have not sacrificed anything for America and its people.
Therefore, as an act of
good faith, and to prove to all-American's that they are willing to help
America, and the "lower-classes," by sacrificing a percentage of
their salaries that is paid for by the Citizens of America through taxation.
The criteria will be based on Government salaries and each Member's personal
wealth
The members of Congress will pass a bill that states:"(Members of both
House agree to have the following percentage deducted from their government
salaries and the agreed amount of pay deduction will be paid to a community
based, programs of their choosing, in their States and Districts, Members of
both houses serve.)"
"(The community based, programs must for those that feed (food banks) or
shelter homeless, and the poorest of children. This bill will be valid for the
remaining time of the present Congress Member's terms; and will be valid from
the date of passing, until November 1st, 2016. It will apply, for all members
voted into Congress, from the date of the bill passing, to the expiration date:
November 1, 2016.)"
