Our Federal Budget Crisis

John Boehner stands on a platform written by Grover Norquist (a "boring white bread Methodist"). Mr. Norquist has been noted for his widely quoted quip: "I don't want to abolish government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub." Is this the leading lemming the majority of the House want to follow? Are these members prepared to make the token sacrifice of giving up 25% of their salaries and benefits to help reduce the drain on the Federal Government?

This my voice and I wish it could be heard over our esteemed Speaker of the House.
