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, paste it into an email and pass it
on.
