Congress

If you agree, please pass it on.
An idea whose time has come
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 didn't pay into Social Security, 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 that is being considered...in all of its forms. Somehow, that doesn't seem
logical. We do not have an elite that is above the law. I truly don't care if they
are Democrat, Republican, Independent or whatever. The self-serving must stop.
This is a good way to do that. It is an idea whose time has come.
Have each person contact 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 proposal that really should be passed around.
Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution
"Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that
does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, 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."
You all are one of my 20 (100's ;) ).
