   Hay, Obama... To bad you did not think of this first. We The People, are, Ticked off, and are not as DUMB, as you think we are.
   
   WE, see the problem,,,, YOU DON'T. I just love this, so here it is again.
   
   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

   > 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!
