If Speaker John Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell are
serious about change in Washington this should be the #1 item on their
legislative agenda in 2011...
***** 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 (What a concept!).
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, serve your term(s), then go
home and back to work.
Congress is a bunch of clowns & joke tellers (jokers) not interested in reform ...
Don't be fooled by these guys ...
