<div><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>
