Starrider Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 Please read 28th amendment Please Read, and forward. This will only take 1 minute to read! 28th Amendment, 35 States and Counting. It will take you less than a minute to read this. If you agree, please pass it on. It's an idea whose time has come to deal with this self-serving situation: OUR PRESENT SITUATION ! Children of Congress members do not have to pay back their college student loans. Staffers of Congress family members are also exempt from having to pay back student loans. Members of Congress can retire at full pay after only one term. Members of Congress have exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed, under which ordinary citizens must live. For example, they are exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment. And as the latest example, they have exempted themselves from Healthcare Reform, in all of its aspects. We must not tolerate an elite class of such people, elected as public servants and then putting themselves above the law. I truly don't care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent, or whatever. The self-serving must stop. Governors of 35 states have filed suit against the Federal Government for imposing unlawful burdens upon their states.It only takes 38 (of the 50) States to convene a Constitutional Convention. If each person that receives this will forward it on to 20 people, in three days most people in The United States of America will have the message. 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 ..." This is an idea that should be passed around, regardless of political party. Congressional Reform Act of 2017 1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office. And, no more perks go with them. 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 must 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 (i.e. NO MORE INSIDER TRADING!!!). 7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women. Congress made all these contracts by and for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor and privledge NOT a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators should serve their term(s), then go home and go back to work … not get all kinds of freebies. Just hold your finger down then hit forward and send it to everyone you know.

Pitcher Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 Yep, they should have to live by the same laws they pass on to us, especially Healthcare. I would also like to see Term Limits and abolishment of Super PACs, and all lobbyists. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct......this has not been ratified yet.....I'm all for this as written.....It seems unlikely that our representatives would move forward with this because it would have a negative affect on each of them and their families....this will take a huge wave of descent from the people if there is any hope to have it passed.....same thing for term limits......contact your representatives......CL 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SgtFuryUSCZ Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 ***/// We MUST push for this. As it stands, it's a perfect culture for the spread of & permanent foothold for the kommies who've gotten their foot in the door of our government. THAT alone should be reason enough for these career politicians who care about Our Republic to take one for the Team and throw themselves on their swords ! . 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
