AMENDMENT
*I have totally cleaned this e-mail from all other names, sending it
to you in hopes you will keep it going and keep it clean. This is
something I will fight for and I hope you all read it all the way
through. You will be glad you did.
*
*The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds)
took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple!
The people demanded it. That was in 1971...before computers,
before e-mail, before cell phones, etc.
Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution,
seven
(7) took 1 year or less to become the law of the land...all
because of public pressure.
*
*I'm asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of
twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do
likewise.
In three days, most people in The United States of America will have
the message. This is one idea that really should be passed
around.
Congressional Reform Act of 2011
1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman collects a
salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of
office.
2.. Congress (past, present & future) participates in
Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the
Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the
Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people.
It may not be used for any other purpose.
*
*3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all
Americans do.
*
*4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise.
Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or
3%.
*
*5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates
in the same health care system as the American people.
*
*6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the
American people.
*
*7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void
effective 1/1/12. ****The American people did not make this contract with
Congressmen. Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves.
Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding
Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s),
then go home and back to work.
*
*If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will
only take three days for most people (in the U.S. ) to receive the
message. Maybe it is time.
*
*THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!!!!!*
*If you agree with the above, pass it on. If not, just
delete.
*
*You are one of my 20+. Please keep it
going.
