“With all the waste going on in government, the dollar losing its purchasing power, the collapse of the housing bubble, the economy is really struggling.  We Members of Congress should not be padding our pocketbooks when our constituents are tightening their belts,” stated Congressman Paul. </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://pressmediawire.com/article.cfm?articleID=4944"><DIV>
The bill was introduced yesterday and so far Congressman Paul is the only cosponsor.  Congressman Paul famously returns a portion of his congressional office budget to the Treasury.  He recently estimated he would be able to return $75,000 from last year’s office budget.  He also refuses to participate in the lucrative pension program that Congress has awarded itself.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/82B0ED6C-29DF-4E4B-9F21-27C7CB13F33E/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
