Re: MisfitsCafe.com - Proposed Congressional Reform

I would love to see it happen.  It has been tried before by some older members of both houses but they are long dead.  Why would you expect a whorehouse to lower it's cost of operation that's not the American way. The American way is to grab as much for yourself and screw those who don't belong to the club.  Remember former president bush stood in I think the Social Security Administration Building holding one of the U.S. gov't BONDS and said it wasn't worth the paper it was printed on.
By the way I'm a moderate Republican who the Conservative Republican's hate because we will vote for a (I hate to say it) a Democrat if they have better ideas.

You are part of my 20 people. I am hoping you will  send  this  on  to  your  20  so  we  get  this  out.  

A friend sent this along to me. I can't think of a reason to disagree. 

I am sending this to MOST on my e-mail list and that includes conservatives, liberals, and everybody in between.  Even though we disagree on a number of issues, I count all of you as friends.  We need a "Congressional Reform Act of 2011."  It would contain eight provisions, all of which probably would
 be endorsed by those who drafted the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.     

I know many of you will say "this is impossible."  Let me remind you, Congress has the lowest approval rating of any entity in Government
  -- 12% !!!    Now is the time when Americans should join together to reform Congress - the entity that represents us  

We need to get a Senator to introduce this bill in the  US Senate and a Representative to introduce a similar bill in the  US  House.  These people will  become American heroes. 



                      ********************************** 
          Congressional Reform Act of 201
1


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.

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.
 

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

5. Congress
no longer will vote themselves a pay raise.  Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

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

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

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

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, pass it on.   If not, don't complain about the system...
