[Occupymendocino] Warren Buffet's suggested eform of Congress

[ELLEN ROSSER]

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.  At least 20 if you can.  It has to stop somewhere.
In three days, most people in The United States of America will have this
message.

This is one idea that really should
be passed around.

*Congressional Reform Act of 2013

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. Congressmen/women can purchase their own retirement plans, 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
12/31/13. The American people did not make this contract with
Congressmen/women.

Congressmen/women 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?

THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!

If you agree with the above, pass it on.
If not, just delete.
You are one of my 20+ - Please keep it going, and thanks.
