Another Bee in My Bonnet

Congressman Price,
I highly encourage you and your colleagues to find a COMPROMISE on the issue of the Debt ceiling.  I am an employee of the State of North Carolina.  I have not had a salary increase in 4 years.  It makes me sick to my stomach to hear that the wealthiest Americans are untouched by the weakened economy because of outdated tax breaks and policies that favor large corporations.  I do not have the means to influence members of Congress the way these Americans do, but my voice deserves to be heard.  We are struggling.  It is time for Congress to make some unpopular decisions.  It's hard to stand up to someone who fattens your coffers, but it has to be done for the good of our country.  We need more representatives who value responsible legislation above getting themselves re-elected.

Please use your influence in Congress to reach a compromise.  The American economy needs it, and the American people deserve it.

Thank you for your time.
Best,
