Re: Re: Speak For Yourself
To which problem do you refer?  Senator's salaries?  I don't consider them outrageous at their current level.  I do express my opinion to my senators and representative, and I get responses, though I have yet to find evidence I have convinced them of anything.  Still, I consider it worth the effort, and now that my rep is a Democrat, and what with Senator Browne representing my state, at least I don't always feel I'm in the opposition.

Re: Speak For Yourself
Write whatever you want about this, but what have you done to address the problem itself? I suspect nothing.

Speak For Yourself
Demand whatever you like for your share in our Honorable Senators' pay, but I see more than a few problems with your proposal.  I shan't give details here, as I have reason to expect you would simply get angry after a fierce struggle to follow any sort of logic.  But considering that there are over 8 million registered voters in Ohio, and a senator's salary is, what $170,000, taking a percentage of your share won't matter much to, well, anyone.  Happy ranting.
