Warren Buffet is asking everyone
to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people. In three days, most people in the U.S. will have the message.This is
one idea that really should be passed around.
We're ALL in this mess together ... it's up to us to fix it ... for our kids! Read and pass on to 20 of your friends...
Warren Buffett,
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 any time 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 and 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 or less to become
the law of the land all because of public pressure. Warren Buffet is asking
each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their
address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise. 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 into 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?
