What America Needs to Do.

What America Needs to Do
The following is a Quote from a news article personally I feel that all of us who are legally able to vote follow the suggestion listed below.

It is legal and the right of every citizen of this country to stop being more interested in their pizza beer, coke in their nose. And all the 86 million unemployed people in this country to stand up for themselves.
How many folks can you forward this to? Think about this when voting for or campaigning for an elected official!!




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 in to 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 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!
 

We should require all past and present sitting Presidents to use the same health care as congress has imposed on us.

When our current President was asked if he was willing to have the same health care that HE has imposed upon the PEOPLE of this country during an interview on tape he refused to answer. What does this show of how he respects the voters in this country. Remember that he is a former Congressman and does not pay into the SSI and will recieve free medical for life at our cost.
