Dear Congress,
Come to an agreement, compromise, no sneaky little add-ons, and pass a dang Federal Budget.

And if you can't agree, and decide to shut down the government, I'm assuming that you and all your staffers will go without pay too. It's the only right thing to do. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Oh, and the next time I have to drop everything to answer a "Congressional" at work, can I remind you that you deemed me "unnecessary?"
