We The People are Ticked Off..... NOTE FOLLOWS.
Please note: forwarded message attached
Subject: Warren Buffet
Warren Buffet is asking everyone 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 U.S. will have the message. This is
one idea that really should be passed around.
>
> We're ALL in this mess together ... it's up to us to fix it ... for our
kids!
> Read and pass on to 20 of your friends...
> Warren Buffet, 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 any time
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 and 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 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!
