HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS

>> THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!!!!!

>> 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.
>>
>> 9. A line item veto on all bills
>>
>> 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.
