Subject: Congress & Senate Give Up Pay for Your Poor Performance...

Thanks to Chrysler Corporation, Ford Motor Co., General Motors and Shipyard Builders, America was able to win World War II.

Automobile companies were literally shut down to build tanks, airplanes, troop carriers and whatever else the U.S. Government needed to fight World War II.

In Willow Run, MI. every hour a fighter plane rolled off the assembly line!! Auto workers did all that!!!

Do you think it would be safe to ask Japan, Germany, and China to help produce wartime equipment for the U.S. if the situation ever arose again? Or would you rather see our brothers and sisters, other American citizens producing the equipment needed to protect our country?

It would be nice if Senators Shelby and Sessions, and other southern legislators, would be truthful about the actual wages the Big Three auto workers earn. The Congress and Senate have the worst performance in any recent history. Do you think they will be willing to take a cut in pay, due to their poor performance and lack of foresight? How about the "cream of the crop" medical benefits they receive? The best medical coverage of anyone in these United States of America!!!!

We have children going to bed hungry every night here in the U.S. Would the legislators be willing to give up the money they ask for in their "pork barrel" spending?" If so, we could feed a lot of hungry Americans.

Could anyone of these legislators withstand the cross examination on their performance that the Big Three has rightfully been put through?

I'm not willing to let foreign companies build the equipment to protect our American soldiers in wartime. I hope our lawmakers aren't either.

Senators Shelby and Sessions need to have their facts straight and be more accurate!
