Congress

I'm devoting today's post to some of the most notorious tricksters in the history of the world

I received this in my email. I rarely push political agenda's of any sort, but this seems reasonable...
Ask a Congressman/woman to act like an american. Yeah, I can back that.
I hope you can too.

Inspired by Harry Anderson, I use a line in my act:

"It's not really happening, it's just an illusion... very similar to congress at work"

Gets a great laugh, I'm giving you all the right to use this joke, pass it on
anything (I suggest emailing the below to 20 people)
It's time for a change.

In three days, most people in The United States of America will have this message.
>>>>>  
>>>>> This is one idea that really should be passed around

>>>>> 1. No Tenure / No Pension.
>>>>>  
>>>>> A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office.

>>>>> 2. 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. It may not be used for any other purpose.
>>>>>  
>>>>> 3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.
>>>>>  
>>>>> 4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
>>>>>  
>>>>> 5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.
>>>>>  
>>>>> 6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.
>>>>>  
>>>>> 7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 12/31/13. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women.
>>>>>  
>>>>> Congressmen/women made all these contracts for themselves. 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.
>>>>>  
>>>>> If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S. ) to receive the message. Don't you think it's time?
>>>>>  
>>>>> THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!
