This version lacks some of the more egregious falsehoods of some other versions circulating, but it's still mostly misstatements. The ever-reliable Snopes.com has examined the statements and found them "mostly false".</span></div><br>http://www.snopes.com/politics/medical/28thamendment.asp<div class="siteWrapper"><table class="siteHeader" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td class="logo"><br></td><td><table class="features"><tbody><tr><td class="topAdvertisement"><br></td></tr><tr><td class="searchArea"><br></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></div>Ron Force<br><div>Moscow Idaho USA<br></div><div

This is<br> something I believe in, and I
hope you all read it all the way through.<br><br> The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds)<br> took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people<br> demanded it. That was in 1971...before computers, before e-mail,<br> before cell phones, etc.<br><br> Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took 1 year or<br> less to become the law of the land...all because of public pressure.<br><br> I'm asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of<br> twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do<br> likewise.<br><br> In three days, most people in The United States of America will have<br> the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around.<br><br> Congressional Reform Act of 2011<br><br> 1.
Term Limits.<br><br> 12 years only, one of the possible options below.<br><br> A. Two Six-year Senate terms<br> B. Six Two-year House terms<br> C.OneSix-year Senate term and three Two-Year House terms<br><br> 2. *No Tenure*/ *No Pension*.<br><br> A Congressman collects a salary while in officeand receives *no<br> pay*when they are out of office.<br><br> 3. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security.<br><br> All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social<br> Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social<br> Security system, and Congress participates with the American people.<br><br> 4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all<br> Americans do.<br><br> 5. Congress will no longer vote
themselves a pay raise.<br> Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.<br><br> 6. Congress loses their current health care system and participates<br> in the same health care system as the American people.<br><br> 7. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the<br> American people.<br><br> 8. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void<br> effective 1/1/12.<br><br> The American people *did not* make this contract with Congressmen.<br> Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves.<br><br> Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers<br> envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s),<br> *then go home* and *back to work*.<br><br> If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will
only<br> take three days for most people (in the U.S. ) to receive the<br> message. Maybe it is time.<br><br> /LET'S FIX CONGRESS!!!!! If you agree, pass it on. //<br> /You are one of my 20+. Please keep it going.//<br> /"The darkness hides the true size of fears and lies and regrets,<br> The truth is they are more shadow than reality, So, they seem bigger<br> in the dark!
