Cozy oil Corp.s / lobbyists / Hilary Clinton / Keystone XL / etc.

@TreeHugger: "They continue to block alternate forms of energy to keep us dependent on oil."

Congressional Reform Act of 2011

This is an email that I received today from a friend. I forwarded it on to approximately 35 people. Perhaps we *can* make a difference, because the system as it has been MUST BE FIXED!! NOW!! 


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 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 2011


1. No Tenure / No Pension.

A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are 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 are void effective 1/1/12.

___________________________
The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen. 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. Maybe it is time.

THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!!!!!


If you agree with the above.... copy this and 
pass it on!
