AMENDMENT

This speaks for itself. So feel free to do as you feel appropriate.

The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain
the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the
government – lest it come to
dominate our lives and interests.
– Patrick Henry –

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.

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 are to 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.
