This message was passed on to me by someone who wants to change/fix the laws as much as I do. Please read and take action if you want change!
THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!
Look what he has accomplished in his life
and what he is about to gift this world with.
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
Congressional Reform Act of 2012
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?
I want my children and grandchildren to live
in a better world.
Pass this on to your congress person.
Pass this on to your congress person.
