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 you to forward this email/Blog to a minimum of twenty people
on your 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. They do pay in and receive Social Security benefits Now !
However, their Congressional pension is Fabulous !

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.

This is probably the best solution and would FIX any problem Social Security had/has !

(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%.
Raise problem solved !

(6.) Congress loses their current health care system and
participates in the same health care system as the American people.

Healthcare problem Solved !

(7.) Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the
American people.

This is constitution !

(8.) All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void
effective 1/1/11. If you think this is too harsh ? It happens to US/as in You and I, everyday !

The American people did not make the current contract with members of Congress. 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.

MUCH OF WHAT WE FACE IN TERMS OF PRIVILEGE AND SELFISHNESS IN THIS

COUNTRY MIGHT BEST BE CHANGED STARTING FROM THE TOP DOWN. If you agree with the above, pass it on. If not, just delete

You are one of my 20. I INVITE YOU TO KEEP IT GOING. WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE -- THANKS !

Editorial : This is strictly non-partisan Both Democrat and Republican need to subscribe to this. Thanks to my good friend in Hersey Michigan for this ! I love it ! And it makes sense. Probably why it won`t happen ! Unless, WE DEMAND IT !
