looks good to me !!!!

:

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. 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. 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. If not, just delete

When Obama was campaigning, he often spoke of the wonderful health care

members of Congress enjoy, and said he wanted to make that level of benefit

available to the public.

I personally see a huge downside to term limits. Representatives are always

" green " -- the only people with institutional memory and longevity are

LOBBYISTS. And they are the ones to whom these newcomers become indebted.
