Sen. Rubio:
Several weeks ago I sent you check and asked that you forward it to the US Treasury to reduce the National Debt. Since I have not heard back from you I wanted to check in and make sure that you had received my check.
I had also hoped that you would accept my challenge to donate part of your salary to the debt and encourage your staff to do the same. I have since learned, per my previous letter, that Congressman Daniel Webster (R Fl-8) has been taking a salary from the year 2008 (which actually amounts to about a 2.5% donation of income) and not only that, he is refusing the health insurance offered to house members and supplying his own. Further, he is encouraging his staff to donate part of their earnings to the principal of the debt as well. GOOD FOR HIM. There is a public servant that puts (no pun intended) his money where his mouth is.
I look forward to hearing from you that you have decided to do the same. Further, I look forward to your response to the suggestion I shared which I received from Mr. Henderson in the last letter about setting up a program to let the American public make donations to the principal via the United Way, the Red Cross or the like.
Looking forward to a rapid response, I am,
Aisling Maes
