From: Alfred Clayton
I've been railing about some of these points for years: IMUA, power
to the people.
Congress is not a career choice for royals. Please consider...
Warren Buffett, in a recent interview with CNBC, offers one of thebest
quotes about the debt ceiling:
"I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC. "You just pass
alaw that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of
GDP,all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election".
The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds)
tookonly 3 months, 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple!
The people demanded it. That was in 1971 - before computers,
e-mail,cell phones, etc.
Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took one (1)
yearor less to become the law of the land - all because of
publicpressure.
Warren Buffet is asking each addressee to forward this
emailto 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
Americawill 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/woman collects a salary while in office and receives
nopay when they're out of office.
2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security.
All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the
SocialSecurity system immediately. All future funds flow into the
SocialSecurity 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.
Congressionalpay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates
inthe 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/women are
voideffective 1/1/12. The American people did not make this
contract with Congressmen/women. Congressmen/women made all
thesecontracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not
acareer. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so
oursshould serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.
If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will
onlytake three days for most people (in the U.S.) to receive
the message. Don't you think it's 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, and thanks.
