To the indecisive members of Congress:
Hello. My name is Emily. I would like to inform you that my long distance relationshp is hard enough without you refusing to pay my boyfriend. He happens to be a soldier.
My plans to see him this summer, and our plans to see his sister's wedding, will be ruined if he does not receive his paycheck or some sort of backpay.
Additionally, it is complete and utter horse malarkey that the men and women who are following our government's orders, and therefore, your orders, will not be getting paid for doing their selfless duty. Not only will they suffer, but they have spouses and children that depend on that pay as well. I'm not sure when the last time you actually checked was, but these folks do not make much money as is.
All the while you, Congress, will be paid your six-figure salaries the entire time.
Please stop this ridiculousness.
Pay. The. Freaking. Soldiers.
Hugs and kisses,
Emily
