DEMAND THAT CONGRESSIONAL REFORM ACT of 2017 BE ENACTED

Submitted by: P McMillan and Buzz

Congressional Reform Act of 2017

Even though some of you may not be big Trump fans,  I believe you will

agree to the Congressional Reform Act of 2017. Please read.
President Trump is asking everyone to forward this email to a minimum of
20 people, and to ask each of those  to do likewise.

In three days, most people in the United States will have the message.
This is an idea that should be passed around.

Let's see if congress understands what people pressure is all about.



Salary of retired US Presidents . . . . .. . . . . .. . $180,000 FOR LIFE.
Salary of House/Senate members .. . . . .. . . . $174,000 FOR
LIFE. This is stupid
Salary of Speaker of the House .. . . . .. . . . . $223,500 FOR
LIFE. This is really stupid
Salary of Majority / Minority Leaders . . .. . . . . $193,400
FOR LIFE. Stupid
Average Salary of a teacher . . .. . . . .. . . . . .. .$40,065
Average Salary of a deployed Soldier . . .. . . .. $38,000


Here’s where the cuts should be made!
TRUMP, in a recent interview with CNBC, offers one of the best
quotes about the debt ceiling:

"I could end the deficit in five minutes," he told CNBC. "You
just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than
3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election".


The 26th Amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds
) took only three months and eight days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The
people demanded it. That was in 1971 - before computers, e-mail, cell
phones, etc.

Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took one
(1) year or less to become the law of the land - all because of public
pressure. Trump is asking each addressee to forward this email to a
minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of
those to do likewise.

In three days, most people in The United States of America will
have the message. This is one idea  that really should be passed around.
Congressional Reform Act of 2017
 
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 3/1/17. The American people did not make this contract
with Congressmen/women.
Congress 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 go 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. It's time!
