my name is shannon green bayer, we pay 5355 u.s. -- 535 u.s. congressman equal to 10,000 dying and disabled getting $10,000 a year. the sick, dying and disabled are on the table, the congressional pay needs to be on the table. we had the industrial hemp farming act of 2005, 2007, 2009, and 2011 in the house of representatives and all of them have been suffocated with their neglect. we presently have h.r. 2306 and h.r. 1831, both in the house of representatives, both would create millions of green jobs throughout the nation, creating biodegradable products so we can compete in global markets that we presently do not compete in. that is billions in g.d.p. and g.d.i. we need these jobs. we need these resources. and for these 535 congressmen, getting paid $187,000 plus per year, while they're trying to cut the sick, dying, and disabled, is not only appalling but is simply disgusting. >> awaiting senate republicans in the capitol. you can see reporters standing by, waiting for their arrival at 2:00. we expect them to brief on the debt ceiling agreem
