HOW TO FIX CONGRESS

Congress has the lowest approval of any entity in Government, now is the time for Americans to join together to reform Congress. We need to get a Senator to introduce a bill like this in the US Senate and a Representative to introduce a similar bill in the US House.  These people will become American hero's!

HERE'S A SUMMARY OF THE PROPOSED LEGISLATION:

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

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career.  The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators serving their term(s), then going home and back to work.


2.  No Tenure / No Pension:

    A congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.

    Serving in Congress is an honor, and not a career.


3.  Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security:

    All funds in the Congressional retirement fund moves to the Social Security system immediately.  All future funds flow into the Social Security system; Congress participates with the American people.

Why should taxpayers support these people for the rest of their lives?


4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan just as all Americans do.

Why should taxpayers support these people for the rest of their lives?
 

5. Congress should no longer be able to vote themselves a pay raise.  Congressional pay should only rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

    Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career.


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

   They thought it was good for the rest of us, so let them live with it also.


7. Congress must equally be subject to all laws they impose on the American people.

 
8. All contracts with past and present congressmen and lobbyists are void effective 1/1/11.

    The American people did not make this contract with congressmen, congressmen made all these contracts for themselves.

  
If you agree with the above, pass it on to all in your friends...and send a copy to your Congressmen.  Let's try to make this go viral!
