Got this in a email and I like it if true

 "Congressional Reform Act of 2010."

 

It 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 can join together to reform Congress -

The entity that "represents" US the citizens of the  USA .

 


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.

Half the rest of the crap they enact is unconstitutional, too.

Don't know who wrote it, but I like the way he thinks....I'd buy him a beer.

How are term limits unconstitutional ?
They put one in place one the Office of President ?
I'm not being snarky (this time) I'm asking.

I was wondering the same thing.

You don't really think Congress is going to vote for a Constitutional amendment that limits (their phoney baloney jobs) their terms or their pensions do you.
