From an e-mail I got today!

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 that is being considered...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.
 
Have each person contact  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 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."

this makes alot of sense considering the saying goes "we the people" not "they the people". this is a link that may be of interest. it is an amedment to the current healthcare bill to have congress use the same coverage they are having the rest of the citizens use. http://fleming.house.gov/index.cfm?sectionid=55
