I received this email from a friend, and WOW, had no idea.  Members of congress do not pay into Social Security and….

An idea whose time  has come

For too long we have  been too complacent about the workings of Congress.  Many citizens had no idea that members of Congress could retire with the same pay after only one term, that they didn’t pay into Social Security, that they specifically exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed (such as being exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment) while ordinary citizens must live under those laws.  The latest is to exempt themselves from the Healthcare Reform that is being considered…in all of its forms.   Somehow, that doesn’t seem logical.  We do not have an elite that is above the law.  I truly don’t care if they are Democrat, Republican,  Independent or whatever.  The self-serving must stop.  This is a good way to do that.  It is an idea whose time has  come.

If you are reading this,  contact a minimum of Twenty people (or as many as you can) on your Address list, in turn ask each of those to do likewise.    In a few days, most  people in The United States of America will have the message.  This is one proposal that really should be passed around.

Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States  Constitution

“Congress shall make no  law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply  equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no  law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply  equally to the citizens of the United States.”
