    Play it. Really, play it and then make decisions on our behalf. If you don't promote change, you have no conscience and neither you nor our deserve our (the people's) respect.

    The challenges of poverty portrayed in this game are very real situations. Please stop fighting and work together in the best interests of the constituency you are currently failing.

    My Congressmen only listen to the far right. They don't care.

    Personally I don't think the majority of politicians have the compassion, or the balls, to try this.

    No one is safe from the potential for poverty or the financial burden it costs taxpayers, let alone the moral responsibility we have to help our neighbors and nation. Congress has the power to reverse the stigma associated with poverty and influence a nation to care for its people rather than supporting the divide for political support.

    If you want a taste of actual poverty, give the game a try. When you fail, think about why. Try again. Good luck.

    Stop saying you're one of us; that you represent us. You have a 1 in 2 chance of being a millionaire as a member of Congress. For the rest of us it's a 1 in 20 chance. Stop the plutocracy and represent your constituents not your lobbyists

    Please play this game so that you may finally understand the viewpoint of the people who put you in office and are counting on you to make decisions in their best interest. The next time congress votes on giving itself a raise, stop and think about the people on whom that money would be much better spent. As someone who has had to decide whether to go to the doctor or eat lunch for a week, please take a look through my eyes.

    I challenge all congress members to play this and demonstrate that all our thoughts that you are truely disconnected from the people you serve are not true.

    You have a moral duty to help those who are suffering the most due to your decisions! Especially those of you who run on your religous convictions! You are your brothers keeper!
