If you're into politcs this is important to read

[gmart]

Please
consider forwarding, if you agree.




I have cleaned
this e-mail of all other names, sending it to you
in hopes that you will keep it going and keep it
clean. This is something I believe in and I hope
you all read it all the way through.



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



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.



LET'S FIX CONGRESS!!! If you agree, pass
it on.

If not, just delete. You are one of my
20+.

Please keep it going.

I would like to see them be drug tested and sobriety tests too.
