*Congressional Reform Act of 2013
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 12/31/13. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women.
Congressmen/women 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 with the above, pass it on. If not, just delete.

Please keep it going.

Sounds like a good idea, but the congressmen will never cut their own throat.

I get a lot of supposedly good intentioned "pass-it-on" Emails only to find they're actually obtaining addresses for marketing something. Usually through junk mail.
Opinion polls, and so-called voting polls (not legally recognized) are also a source for advertising.

It's good to nod and say Amen but you have to start at home. I haven't voted for an incumbent candidate for well over 10 years. It's usually pretty easy because living on the west coast means that the brain damage running rampant here results in no politicians who vote with me in mind are in office. IMHO we should make Ron Paul king of the USA.
