Should Congressmen Use Same Health Care

Should Congressmen use same health care system as their constituents. Go to Senator Flemings website and vote.

And they need better pensions, more travel money, free hair cuts, use of bigger planes and be allowed to take more family and friends on taxpayer funded trips.
And, as in the case of Kerry, be able to treat your job as if it were part time.

And shut down airports so they get preferred air routes.
