ENOUGH!

The following was sent to me by one of my lovely committee members for my high school reunion. Kathy Sperakis, a school mate from 4th grade, sent this to 20 people, and I pass it along to you because it is important to let those morons in congress know what we really think!
Really important! Hope you all do it! This will take less than 30 seconds to read. If you agree, pass it on.

An idea whose time has come
For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of Congress. Many citizens had no idea that members of Congress could retire with the same pay after only one term; that they didn't pay into Social Security; that they specifically exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed (such as being exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment); while ordinary citizens must live under those laws. The latest is to exempt themselves from the Healthcare Reform ... in all of its forms. Somehow, that doesn't seem logical. We do not have an elite that is above the law. I truly don't care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent or whatever. The self-serving must stop. This is a good way to do that. It is an idea whose time has come.

If each person who receives this will contact a minimum of 20 people on their address list and, 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 proposal that really should be passed around.

Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution
"Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States."

I have passed this one along any time someone sends it to me, but I don't have high hopes the bill will ever pass. They wouldn't become politicians if they had to live by the laws that govern the rest of us. There is a reason that the percentage of Americans who distrust their government is at an all time high. Off with their heads!
