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.

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!!!!!

The Time Has Indeed Come! 

Governors of 35 states have already filed suit against the Federal  Government for imposing unlawful burdens upon them. It only takes 38 (of  the 50) States to convene a Constitutional Convention. 
 
This will take less than thirty seconds to read. If you agree, please  pass it on.

An idea whose time has come!

For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of Congress.  Many citizens had no idea that members of Congress could retire with the  same pay after only one term, that they specifically exempted themselves  from many of the laws they have passed (such as being exempt from any  fear of prosecution for sexual harassment) while ordinary citizens must live under those laws.

The latest was to exempt themselves from the  Healthcare Reform … in all of its forms.

Somehow, that doesn’t seem  logical. We do not have an elite that is above the law. 

I truly don’t care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent or  whatever. The self-serving must stop!

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.  to become the law of the land…all because of public pressure. 
 
In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the  message. This is one proposal that really should be passed around.

Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution:

"Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United  States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the  Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States ."

I’m asking each reader to forward this link to a minimum of twenty  people on their Address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise.
