Hello Ron:
Ron, I am sending this e-mail too you to see if you would introduce,
this into the the house of ( Representative ). Thank you.
I am sending this simple federal government reform proposal to as many people as will read it. I received this proposal from a friend in California , who received it from a friend, and so the chain goes. This simple proposal crosses all political and ideological lines and everyone in between. Even though we disagree on a number of issues, I count all of you as caring, concerned Americans.
The proposal is to promote a “Congressional Reform Act of 2010.” It would contain eight provisions, all of which would probably be strongly endorsed by those who drafted the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. I know many of you will say, “this is impossible”.
Let me remind you, Congress has the lowest approval rating of any entity in Government, now is the time when Americans can join together to reform Congress – the entity that is supposed to represent us.
We need to get a Senator to introduce this bill in the US Senate and a Representative to introduce a similar bill in the US House.
These people will become American heroes. Please add any ideas on how to get this done. Thanks!
Congressional Reform Act of 2010
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

3. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security:
All funds in the Congressional retirement fund be moved to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system; Congress participates with the American people.

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 (retroactive to all their past legislation to the founding of this nation, as well).
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.
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.
