 Interesting thought but really would never pass our Congress.  Almost sounds, in some ways , too radical

Facts:

 

 

Salary of retired US Presidents . . . . . . . . . . . $180,000 FOR LIFE

 

 

 

Salary of House/Senate members . . . . . . . . $174,000 FOR LIFE This

is stupid

 

 

 

Salary of Speaker of the House . . . . . . . . . . $223,500 FOR LIFE

This is really stupid

 

 

 

Salary of Majority/Minority Leaders . . . . . . . . $193,400 FOR LIFE

Ditto last line

 

 

 

Average Salary of a teacher . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $40,065

 

 

 

Average Salary of a deployed Soldier . . . . . . . $38,000

 

 

 

I think we found where the cuts should be made! If you agree pass it

on, I just did.

 

 

 

 

Warren Buffet, in an 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 one (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 2013

 

 

 

1. No Tenure / No Pension.

 

 

 

A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no

pay when they're 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/women are void

effective 12/1/13. The American people did not make this contract with

Congressmen/women.

 

 

 

 

Congress 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.

Don't you think it's time?

 

 

 

 

THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!

 

 

One more change required: We need a 1 term limit. Make the terms

longer and stagger them, but only one term. That takes the lobbyists’

influence out of the picture. That’s the final piece of the puzzle!

 

 

If you agree, pass it on. If not, delete.

 

You are one of my 20+ - Please keep it going, and thanks

I agree and we the people should demand these changes while we still can!
