Original Message I received this via email earlier today, and while I know that it's been batted around over the years, nobody has truly taken the lead or made any real effort in this reard, mainly because we're all led to believe that any individual effort would simply amount to wasted time.

That said, I strongly believe that the time has finally come where most every American adult would agree with and support the concept outlined below, and it will be up to those of us interested in justice and freedom to spark the grass roots fire to make it a reality. In short, a constitutional amendment as suggested below is an absolute vital necessity if we truly hope to save our republic.

Subsequently, if you are a US citizen that cares about this country's future and that of your children, spread this far and wide. We'd love nothing better than to see it on the ballot in 2012....




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.

I'm 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 (a proposed new Constitutional amendment):

1.  Term  Limits.
12 years only, one of the possible options below..
A. Two Six-year Senate terms
B. Six Two-year House terms
C. One Six-year Senate term and three Two-Year House terms


2.   No Tenure / No  Pension.
A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.

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, and Congress participates with the American people.

4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan,  just as all Americans do.

5. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise.  Congressional pay will rise by the  lower of CPI or  3%.

6. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the  American  people.

7. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.

8. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 1/1/11.

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 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.
