WASHINGTON -- Members of Congress are in line for a $3,300 pay raise effective Jan. 1 unless they block it, and Democrats said Thursday they intend to try.

Officials said Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California and Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada, the party's leaders, had notified Republicans they will try to add the anti-pay-raise provision to a bill that provides funds for most government agencies through Feb. 15.






Congress must pass the funding bill before it adjourns for the year, and the target for that is Friday.

1. Don't say "may", just do the right thing Dems.

Block it, and give reasons why you're blocking it.
