THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS

Image via Wikipedia

A friend sent this along to me. I can't think of any reason to disagree.

The following is a "Congressional Reform Act of 2010", which would contain eight provisions, all of which would probably be strongly endorsed by those who drafted the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

I know many of you will say, "This is impossible". Let me remind you, Congress has the lowest approval of any entity in Government, now is the time when Americans will join together to reform Congress - the entity that represents us.

We need to get a Senator to introduce this bill in the US Senate and a Representative to introduce a similar bill in the US House. These people will become American hero's.

Thanks,
A Fellow American Voting Citizen
**********************************

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

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.

2. No Tenure / No Pension:
A congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.
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.

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.

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.

Healthcare for None

Image via Wikipedia

Saturday at 1AM, they passed the first huddle in the senate to enslave us all to government control of our healthcare.

No one had time to read the "Managers Amendement" created by Senator Reid behind closed doors. But, that didn't really matter. The Democrats will pass anything on the table just to say they passed it. It doesn't matter what is in the bill. It doesn't matter that over 85% of the people are content with their current plan. Or that only 35% of the people want this bill in its current state.

It doesn't matter that it will cut medicare to seniors by $500 BILLION.

It doesn't matter that it will heavily tax "Durable medical Equipment" like wheelchairs. Who uses them anyway, right?

It doesn't matter that it is Unconstitutional.


It doesn't matter to them that premiums will raise to 8% of a person's income

What matters to these 60 senators is power. Pure and simple. If they truly cared about health issues they would have included:

1. Being able to buy health insurance from any state. That would increase competition
2. Find and prosecute fraud in the current medicare system. Although they claim fraud is rampant,
      they have no moves to go after the criminals.
      Instead ,they prefer to make every American that does not buy health insurance a criminal.
      Subject to a $750 fine and if not paid, jail time.
3. End frivolous lawsuits: too many of them are lawyers and any move in that direction would of
    course put a hurt in the income of all the ambulance chasers.

This is not the end of the debate. Every senator that voted for this bad bill will be held accountable next November. Seniors vote. They have the time and the will. They remember when government was a democratic process; not run by a self-appointed few.

We Have Just Begun to Fight!

We Say No, Yet Congress Pushes Forward with Healthcare Reform

Why is it that the more "We the People" say no to government run healthcare, CAP and Trade, granting amnesty to all illegals, the more bills keep getting passed?

Do they realize we WILL vote them out next year? I live in Nevada and Harry Reid is one of my senators. I keep emailing him, phoning him and he  replies with a form letter trying to persuade me that HE KNOW BETTER....this bill is not about healthcare. It is about POWER! Power to people who think they know what is best for me. They want to control what we eat, drink, where to live and work.

The panel to oversee this healthcare plan, is the same panel who just recently decided women no longer needed preventative mammograms until age 50. Are these the type of decisions that will make us healthier? Of course not; they SAVE MONEY. Money to send overseas. Money for barely used airports or any other of the over 500 pork projects they just gave themselves yesterday.

Over 80% of the American people do not want Obamacare. It will hurt seniors the most by taking away their medicare Advantage plans. Without them, the costs for medical care will triple.  The next group to be hurt are the disabled. They want to impose a huge tax on durable medical equipment, like wheelchairs and oxygen. Those costs will be passed on to the people who can least afford it.

What is the big rush??? Why won't they let us read it? The new Manager's amendment that Harry Reid put together has not even been seen by anyone in Congress, yet he wants them to vote on it this weekend. Where is the transparency Obama campaigned on? These bills were constructed behind closed door with virtually no input by Republicans. And, now Reid wants them voted on this weekend; some scheduled for vote AFTER MIDNIGHT! This is dirty, sneaky politics at its best.

I am getting frustrated! Like millions of people, I worked my entire life and was forced to put money into the social security system. Now, when it is time to get MY MONEY back, they trickle it out to me. If I had been able to invest that money, I would be living a  nice retirement. Instead, I can barely pay my monthly bills. There is nothing left over for fancy vacations or evenings out. This is not what I visualized my retirement to be.  Poor, sick and stressed over the economy has led my fragile health to deteriorate rapidly. I suffer from Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) and need constant medical care.  The cuts to medicare will be implemented immediately if the healthcare bill is passed.

This needs to stop...........Contact your representatives and senators. Tell them NO...no more higher taxes, no more debt, no more meddling into our business. STOP SPENDING MY MONEY!!!!

As we get ready to start 2010, I have made a commitment. For the next year, this blog will bring you news revolving around the government of politics. I will be having guest bloggers to give opinions. When the voting stops, so will this blog.

I will be posting stories involving healthcare, global warming nonsense, corruption in Washington and bad politicians. American citizens need to take their country back from the crooks and the people who would like to turn us into a "One World" government.

Without even voting these people in, they are making changes to our fundamental freedoms. Ranging from healthcare to gun control, our constitutional rights are being violated. We are being railroaded down a path we do not want nor chose.

If you believe in freedom of choice, a government responsive to the needs of its people, fiscal responsibility and a strong dollar, sign up to be a guest blogger. Give us your perspective; start a conversation. Debate with respect.
