THINK ABOUT IT. PLEASE READ AND PASS ON. CONGRESSMAN/CONGRESSWOMEN ARE ELECTED AVERAGE CITIZENS AND RETIRE MILLIONAIRES. THE LAWS NEED TO BE CHANGED IN WASHINGTON REGARDING CONGRESSMAN/CONGRESSWOMEN SALARIES, PENSIONS AND SOCIAL SECURITY PARTICIPATION. BEING AN ELECTED IS AN HONOR AND NOT A PRIVILEGED TO ABUSE POWER.
YOU MAY HAVE RECEIVED THIS FROM ME OR SOMEONE ELSE. LET'S GET IT GOING. IT MIGHT JUST TAKE OFF. OCCUPY WALL STREET MIGHT JUST BE THE BEGINNING OF A NEW ERA IN AMERICA.

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 2011*_
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 1/1/12. The American people did not
make this contract with Congressmen/women.
Congressmen/women 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!
If you agree with the above, pass it on.
