A Solution to Our Corrupt Congress


 AND The Deficit.










Warren Buffet, in a recent interview with CNBC, offers one of the best quotes about the debt ceiling: 




"I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC. "You just pass a law that says that anytime there 
is a 


deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election.

The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months & 8 days to be 


ratified! Why? Simple!


The people demanded it. That was in 1971 - before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc.


Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took one (1) year In three days, most people in The 


United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around.

Congressional Reform Act of 2012


1. No Tenure / No Pension.
A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of 


office.


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 in to the Social Security system, and 


Congress participates with the


American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.


3. Congress can 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.


7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void
'
effective 12/1/12
The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women.


Congress made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in
Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours 


should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work. 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. 


Don't you think it's time?
