text: how many payrises has government had in 3006?   did you possibly mean 2006? they just got one the other day. serving themselves before the people. hmmm, good idea dont you agree? serve others before yourselves so you may be rewarded, the people wil remember this and turn against the govt if they arent careful,  anger is not a good thing. before this raise i thik they had another in 2004?  maybe three, but for sure two since bush took office.  that's okay when they start the draft, remember this!!!!!!!!!!  only one senator has a child in the military as well.
