The Minority Report

No matter what your political affiliation is, I believe there is one thing we all can agree upon. We need to take our country back. This is not a Democratic, Republican or Independent issue, it is an issue for ALL of us to grab a hold of and support. I personally believe that we need to have term limits for all of our representatives. We need to limit the perks and make serving in Congress a privilege not a right.

I received this this morning in my email box.

1. Term Limits: 12 years only, one of the possible options below.

A. Two Six year Senate 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 moves to the Social Security system immediately.  All future funds flow into the Social Security system, Congress participates with the American people.

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career.  The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, server your term(s), then go home and back to work.

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

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.

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

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.

6. Congress looses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.

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.

7. Congress must equally abide in all laws they impose on the American people.
