Fourteen of the 30 senators running for re-election next year voted against the pay raise. Two who will retire in January - Sens. Phil Gramm, R-Texas, and Strom Thurmond, R-S.C. - voted for the increase, while a third retiree - Jesse Helms, R-N.C. - did not vote.

Thank God these dithering old fools are retiring. I'm voting for the Constitution Party in '02 and '04.

This is just one of many reasons that I am in favor of term limits.
The perks they get are unbelievable.
They continue to pass laws which take away our freedoms.

Yeah ... great. That'll show'em. Just like the Nader vote in FL 2000 - 97,000+ votes for Ralphie. Thank you Lord! If even 1/2 had gone to Gore and the rest to Ralph we'd be busy brushing up on our Koran and "sternly" negotiating with OBL.

That's a good lil' voter - just throw it away - OR - here's an idea vote, for the people closest to your interests and then, just maybe, call the a$$hole up and try to convince them to go your way.

Funny thing ... ALL pols pay attention when they're inundated with "suggestions" from their constituency.
