UNFAIRESS VS. FAIRNESS
By Gigi
Did you know that staffers of Congress family members are exempt from having to pay back student loans? Neither did I?!? This bit of information won’t get press or broadcast because most of Congress are republican tea party members. 35 States have filed lawsuits against the Federal Government Governors for imposing unlawful burdens upon them. It only takes 38 States to convene a Constitutional Convention.
For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of Congress. Many citizens had no idea that members of Congress could retire with the same pay after only one term, that they specifically exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed (such as being exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment) while ordinary citizens must live under those laws. The latest is to exempt themselves from the Healthcare Reform…in all of its forms. Somehow, that doesn’t seem logical. We do not have elite that is above the law. I truly don’t care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent or what ever…the self-serving must stop!!!
Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution: “Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States.” According to Warren Buffet, who wants to effect change, proposed the CONGRESSIONAL REFORM ACT OF 2011… THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!!!!
1. NO TENURE / NO PENSION. A CONGRESSMAN/WOMAN COLLECTS 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 AMERICAN DO.
4. CONGRESS WILL NO LONGER VOTE THEMSEIVES 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 1/1/12. 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 FOUNDLING FATHERS ENVISIONED CITIZEN LEGISLATORS, SO OURS SHOULD SERVE THEIR TERM(S), THEN GO HOME AND BACK TO WORK!!!!
