Warren Buffett, "I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he
told CNBC. "You just pass a law that says that anytime 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
& 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 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 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, pass it on.
