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.
The blog usually does not
take a political stance however during these times all voices need to be heard!
Thank you! Stay tuned for more info on
what action to take.
