Everyone is unhappy

with congress, doesn't matter which

party is in control. Please read the

following and think about it, then

pass on if you agree. Thanks!

Send to

your congressman !

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!!!!!

A friend

sent this along to

me. I can't think

of a reason to

disagree.

I am

sending this to

virtually

everybody on my

e-mail list and

that includes

conservatives,

liberals, and

everybody in

between. Even

though we disagree

on a number

of issues, I count

all of you as

friends. My

friend and

neighbor

wants to promote a

"Congressional

Reform Act of

2010." It would

contain

eight provisions,

all of which would

probably be

strongly endorsed

by those

who drafted the

Constitution and

the Bill of

Rights.

I know many

of you will say

"this is

impossible." Let

me remind you,

Congress

has the lowest

approval rating of

any entity in

Government. Now is

the time

when Americans

will join together

to reform Congress

- the entity

that

represents us.

We need to

get a Senator to

introduce this

bill in the US

Senate and a

Representative

to introduce a

similar bill in

the US House.

These people

will become

American heroes

**********************************

Congressional

Reform Act of 2010

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, serve

your term(s), then

go home and back

to

work.

If you

agree with the

above, pass it

on. If not, just
