This isn’t Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Tea Party, Green Party or Independent; it’s the Right Thing for all parties. 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. You are part of my 20 people, hoping you will send this on to your 20 so we get this out before November 2nd. THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!!!!! 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 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. 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.

I have been reading your comments and it is clear that many of you are just as tired of the status quo as I am. My goal is to get these specific reforms in front of the people who currently ignore us because they think we are not paying attention.

Seeing this momentum grow proves that people are tired of a system that serves itself instead of us. This movement is gaining real energy and we are proving that the status quo is no longer acceptable.

YES. Why do they get better healthcare than the rest of us anyway? They should have to live by the same rules they pass. Tired of the games.

About time we got some term limits in there. These people treat the government like a career instead of public service. Get them out.
