<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi Roger,<BR>
<BR>
What medical system do the rest of us belong to???? Did we suddenly (gasp!) become a single payer health country? How about all of us joining the Cadillac options the Congress enjoys?<BR>

I have cleaned this e-mail of all other names, sending it to you in<BR>
hopes that you will keep it going and keep it clean. 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! When the light shines into the places where they live<BR>
inside you, you start to see them for what they are."/<BR>
