Would your sitting Congressperson or senator vote for this? Would the next person you vote in, do it? Make them promise to before they get your vote. Within three days, most people in The United States of America could have this message. This is one idea that really should be passed around!
Congressional Reform Act of 2011
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 will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the same amount military pay does.
6. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.
7. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people (and if congress votes to send send Soldiers to war or they are voted in during a time of war they too must abide by the UCMJ as they are accountable like Soldiers are accountable.)*
8. 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. LET'S FIX AMERICA - STARTING WITH CONGRESS!
Here's a few more to ponder:
1. Once you're wet, it doesn't matter how much more you get rained on.
2. Pool filters do not like Jell-O.
3. VCR's do not eject 'PB & J' sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.
4. Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.
5. Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.
6. You probably DO NOT want to know what that odor is.
7. Always look in the oven before you turn it on; plastic toys do not like ovens.
8. The fire department in Austin, TX has a five-minute response time .
9. The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.
10. It will, however, make cats dizzy.
11. Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.
12. 80% of Women will pass this on to almost all of their friends, with or without kids.
13. 80% of Men who read this will try mixing the Clorox and brake fluid
It's been ages since I did one of these! Hope these bring a smile. :-)
1. A king size water bed holds enough water to fill a 2000 square foot house 4 inches deep.
2. If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite.
3. A 3-year old boy's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.
4. If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound boy wearing Batman underwear and a Superman cape. It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20 x 20 foot room.
5. You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using a ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up in the air a few times, before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.
6. The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.
7. When you hear the toilet flush and the words 'uh oh', it's already too late.
8. Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.
9. A six-year old boy can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36-year old man says they can only do it in the movies.
10. Certain Legos will pass through the digestive tract of a four-year-old boy.
11. Playdoh and microwave should not be used in the same sentence.
12. Super glue is forever.
13. No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water.
