Sir:
It is time for you, as an elected official with millions in the bank, to put you money where your mouth is.
I have challenged Congressman Daniel Webster and his staff to match the 1% of my net income and send it directly to the US treasury to be directed to the principal of the National Debt. Congressman Webster has accepted my challenge and has reduced his staff’s salary as well. I am now concentrating my focus on Sen. Mark Rubio.
Your estimated net worth is in the $219 million range. While you have told the people of Florida, you will take no salary, I think you should donate 1% of what would have been you governor’s income and use it to pay down the nations debt. Further I think you should ask the members of your staff to do the same.
Finally, I think you should discuss the possibility of average Americans, like me, to have the opportunity through their employers, to make donations that do DIRECTLY to the principal of the National debt. Right now, I am sending my check to Sen. Rubio
Perhaps you could set a remarkable example and donate 1% of your net worth directly to the reduction of the Nation Debt.
I look forward to a positive response in short order so together we can attract this problem from all fronts
