WE THE PEOPLE PETITION: Sharing the Sequestration Pay Cuts w/Congress and the President 22FEB13

HERE is a great We The People petition calling for Pres Obama and ALL members of Congress to   share the burden of sequestration budget cuts. To be honest in order for the President and Congress to have their pay cut 20% that action would have to be passed as legislation to take effect as soon as it is signed by the President or added to any deal resulting in legislation to be passed by Congress and then signed by the President. Still, this is a perfect forum for letting Pres Obama and Congress know how we feel. Click the link to sign the petition and share with family, friends, coworkers, etc...

If federal employees are required to take furloughs and suffer 20% pay cuts, Congress (Senate and House) members and President Obama (the people who are responsible for the sequester and the resulting furloughing of federal employees) will "share the pain" by taking 20% pay cuts themselves.

Members of Congress and the President (due to their inaction) will take responsibility and in a show of solidarity and unity with the 800,000+ employees - who through no fault of their own will be forced to accept 20% pay reductions - will share equally in the pain and suffering that they themselves are responsible for.
