Obama Heckled? Ha! Heckle at this.

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, before e-mail, before cell phones, etc.

Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took 1 year or less to
become the law of the land...all because of public pressure.

Copy and forward this to a minimum of twenty people in
your address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise.

Congressional Reform Act of 2011
1. Term Limits.
12 years only, one of the possible options below..
A. Two Six-year Senate terms
B. Six Two-year House terms
C. One Six-year Senate term and three Two-Year House terms

2. No Tenure / No Pension.
A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when
they are out of office.

3. 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.

4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.

5. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will
rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

6. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same
health care system as the American people.

7. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.

8. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 1/1/11.
The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen.
Congressmen 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.

One other thing - barbers have to be licensed, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, financial consultants, on and on have to be licensed to prove they are competent - why cant federal politicians, the people who hold the fate of the country, prove they know economics, history, foreign affairs and are generally intelligent rather than show they lie, cheat and steal (something we already know) - along with meeting requirements in the constitution, they should be tested and licensed before each election - it dosent mater if you are left, middle or right wing, show you know before you go.
