These men and women are risking their lives every day to protect us. They should have our support, and if anything a pay raise, but certainly not such huge pay cuts.May 4th, 2015Someone from Tahlequah, OK signed.

these men and women work so hard and need to have their pay reflect that. Our son has served proudly 2100 miles from home for six years. The government is not the ones being attacked and climbing the mountains. Doing all of this in hot and cactus conditions. Let's show them some support!REPORT COMMENTS

The brave women and men do not deserve this type of treatment and hardship. They risk thier lives every time they go into the field, to keep our people safe. Cut politicians pay and benefits, not our protectors.REPORT COMMENTS

This government sector forces a large percentage of its employees to live in parts of the U.S. which offer little opportunity for dual incomes. We move from our families, our friends, our trusted help, and settle where available jobs for the non-BP spouse are often inadequate to cover the expense of daycare while still augmenting our household incomes. Further, finding positions that are flexible enough to accommodate our agents' ever-changing shifts is a logistical nightmare, and afford little help toward maintaining normalcy for our children. For many of us, the Patrol was a pillar of hope upon which we re-structured our lives and family units in order to create a life that was sustainable with one income. We've already lost so much hope of ever returning to our original homes due to over-manned stations and poor transfer policies; please don't take this from us, too.REPORT COMMENTS

Every year congress does this. They never cut their pay. It must be harder to sleep during votes, screw around with interns and vacation on our dollar. They do have a more stressful,life threatening job.REPORT COMMENTS

You want to cut the pay of the people trying to keep our borders secure, yet when it comes to welfare the state has no problem continuing to raise the amount of money which goes to this. How about we lower the pay of Congress and how much they decide to pay themselves yearly!REPORT COMMENTS
