[Spridgets] (no subject) Congress

[Kathryn Bales]

Our main problem with Congress is the fact that they have too much power 
over their own situation. They name their own salaries and benefits, 
which they receive for life after only one term in office. What motive 
do they have to actually represent the people? Until such time as the 
people regain control of Congress, we have no hope of restoring our 
Country to what the framers of the Constitution envisioned.
