Thanks for the roll-call link. My Congressman voted his own raise, again. Heck, my whole State voted themselves raises, regardless of party. (IMO) it is fiscal irresponsibility to increase Congress' pay at a time when the US Government is spending billions and billions of dollars on war, and has a stratospheric budget deficit.
The battle may not be over. The Senate also has to act. Further, on 6/29/07, U.S. Rep. Harry Mitchell introduced legislation that would block the automatic pay raise (bill number not yet assigned).
Please email your House representative and Senators to let them know your concerns about the inappropriate timing of their pay increases.
