nopayraise.org is a website put together by Pat Quinn, the Lt. Governor of Illinois to bring citizens together at nopayraise.org and send petitions to Governor Rod R. Blagojevich and Senate President Emil Jones Jr opposing the salary increases for lawmakers and public officials. nopayraise.org cites as a reason to the opposition the bad condition the economy is in, people are getting laid off, things are getting more expensive day in and day out, people cant pay their bills but yet according to nopayraise.org, lawmakers want more money to keep doing the same job they were doing before. nopayraise.org urges citizens to vote this week and reject political pay raises for the all the political elite. These raises are being given to the Governor, different lawmakers, several judges and many other public officials. nopayraise.org claims that these salary hikes are unfair and undeserved and will take effect automatically if the visitors of nopayraise.org don’t do anything about it. nopayraise.org goes on to say that democracy in the state of Illinois is failing the public, the citizens, you because if the members of the Senate do not have the courage to take a vote on the political elite will get more money. Specifically they will get 12-percent salary hike. I am just wondering, when was the last time you got a raise, and was it anywhere near 12%? nopayraise.org goes on to say that the members of the Illinois House have already voted overwhelmingly to reject the undeserved political pay raises. The problem is however, that the raises will automatically go in effect if the Illinois Senate does not do the same this week. The Lt. Governor of Illinois, is using nopayraise.org to urge citizens of Illinois to to put pressure on Governor Rod R. Blagojevich and Senate President Emil Jones Jr. to say no to these political pay raises. Raise that would go in effect even as everyday people are struggling to make ends meet. People who want to take part in this petition should go to nopayraise.org.

I am against any pay raise at this time for the House, Senate and Governor. Based on their performance it would be a travesty.

No Pay Raise

I do not favor a pay raise for our state legislators. Our Governor already wastes far too much of their professional time with issues that only benefit the governor’s agenda. We have far too many programs the State of Illinois cannot afford. Say no to legislative pay raises !

In my opinion no state or federal elected officials should get any type of pay raise. Ordinary citizens are facing pay cuts and pay freezes. We are tired of paying the price for the governments screw-ups. Thanks a lot for NAFTA and the loss of our Michigan jobs.
