Sounds good, John, but I don’t want a Constitutional Convention while obama
and his czars are in charge of our country.

Time to send this around
again....
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 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 2012
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 12/1/12.
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 go 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!
If you agree, pass
it on. If not, delete.
You are one of my
20+ - Please keep it going, and thanks!
