options below.

B. Six Two year House terms
C. One Six year Senate term and three Two Year House terms
(and of
course – then 8 years in the White House)
Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators,
serve your term(s), then go home and back to work.
2. No Tenure /
No Pension :
A member of
Congress
collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when he/she leaves
office.
Serving
in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers
envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and
back to work. Today Congressmen
get $172,000 a year each on average.
3. 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, Congress participates with
the American
people.
Serving
in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers
envisioned citizen legislators, server your term(s), then go home and
back to work. Today, Congress has its own retirement
plan that pays 100% of the last three years average monthly pay, as monthly
retirement pay, after just 5 years of service, while allowing retirement with
this full pay at age 50.
4. Congress can
purchase their own retirement plan just as all Americans do.
Serving
in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers
envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and
back to work.
5. Congress will no
longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional House pay will be the
average wage paid across America
to the average American. Senators get
twice that number. Housing and meals
for Congress are provided for free at Fort
Myer with Marine security.
Serving
in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers
envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and
back to work.
6. Congress loses
their current private, personal health care
system and
participates in the same health care
system as
the American people have
(or get), with ALL military hospitals
across America opened to the public.
Serving in Congress is an honor, not a
career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve
your term(s), then go home and back to work.
Today Congress gets all it medical health care for free.
7. Congress must
equally abide by all laws they write and impose on the American people –
NO EXCEPTIONS.
Serving
in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers
envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and
back to work.
Neither the American
people nor
the Constitution provided these insane privileges to the congress, congressmen made
all these contracts for themselves, and have been helping themselves to our
“lunch” ever since.
TERMINATE THE RULING CLASS !
Serving
in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers
envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and
back to work.
If you agree with the
above, pass it on to all in your address list.
If not, in my
opinion, you haven’t thought it through very well.

Warren Buffett, in a recent interview
with CNBC, offers one of the best quotes about the debt ceiling: "I could
end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC.
"You just pass a law 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) took only 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)
year or less to become the law of the
land - all because of public pressure.
Warren Buffet is 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 2012
1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in
office and receives no pay 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 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/women are void
Effective 12/1/12. The American people did not make this contract with
Congressmen/women.
Congress 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.
Don't you think it's time?
THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!
