Thoughts for election day

I don't usually pass along those chain emails, but I liked this one so much I sent it on to my friends and family.

My 20 People

You're part of my 20 people, hoping you will send this on to your 20 so we get this out before election day.

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.

It is time.

FIX CONGRESS!!!!!
**********************************

Congressional Reform Act of 2010

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 Congressional rep collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when
out of office.

3. Congress (past, present and 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. Congressional reps can purchase their own retirement plans, just as all Americans do.

5. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of Consumer Price Index or 3%.

6. Congress loses its 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.

8. All contracts with past and present Congressional reps are void effective
1/1/11:
The American people did not negotiate these contracts with their representatives.
The representatives made all these contracts for themselves.

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators who would serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.

Please feel free to cut and paste this message into your own emails. And please vote on November 2.
