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. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all
Americans do.

4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise.
Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

5. Congress 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 1/1/13. The American people did not make this
contract with Congressmen/women.

Finally some common sense. Treat them like regular employees and watch how fast they start acting like it.

They should have to live by the same rules as the rest of us. Tired of seeing them get rich while the rest of the country struggles to pay bills. Time for a change.

About time. Why are they allowed to vote on their own raises?? It is a total scam.
