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 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 collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they

are 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 are void effective 1/1/12.

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!!!!!
