	-----------------------------------------------------
	Winds of Change.... 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 2011*_
	
	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. Congresswomen/men can purchase their own retirement plan, just as
other
	Americans do.
	
	4. Congresswomen/men will no longer vote themselves a pay raise.
	Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
	
	5. Congresswomen/men 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
	1/1/12. 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?
	
	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.
