Congressional Reform Act of 2011

I just got a pass-on email about this topic. So here is the pass-on:

Term Limits

12 years only using the possible options below..

A. Two Six-year Senate terms

B. Six Two-year House terms

No Tenure / No Pension

A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.

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.

Congress purchases their own retirement plan

Just as all Americans do.

Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise

Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

Congress loses their current health care system

Participates in the same health care system as the American people.

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

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.

THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!!!!! If you agree with the above, pass it on.

I might not agree with all these points but I agree it could be the beginning of a conversation as a change is needed.
