		<description><![CDATA[I hope that all realize that SS has been hijacked by BOTH Republicans and Democrats. Never mind the taking of contributions of those who paid, money taken out for other programs, easy give aways, such as SSI, etc, have taken far more. Drop your membership in either of these corrupt political groups. They deserve nothing, even our names, from those who once supported them. One good benefit in California is a choice when voting in primary elections. Lets stop the finger pointing game of Bush did it, Obama did it, they all did it. If a politician cannot keep promises they need to be one term only. Here is something that was just sent about the problem that we all have.

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 &amp; 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 only by the CPI. 

   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 upon ratification. 

   The American people did not make these contracts 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. 

 

  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. Maybe it is time. 

   THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!!!!! If you agree with the above, pass it on.  If not,  just delete 

 

 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

Never give in. Never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.
