THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS

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
