AN E-MAIL FROM A FRIEND

Think about this:

Amendment 28:

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

Funny you should ask. I just received this e-mail:

2010 is an election year for 1/3 of the senate and 1/2 of the house of
representatives. It would be nice if Congress got the message; the voting
taxpayers
are in charge now.

IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU ARE REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT!

KEEP IT GOING!!!!

Propose this in 2010:


START A BILL TO PLACE ALL POLITICIANS ON SOCIAL SECURITY.

SOCIAL SECURITY:


(This is worth reading. It is short and to the point.)

Perhaps we are asking the wrong questions during election years.


Our Senators and Congresswomen do not pay into Social Security and, of
course,
they do not collect from it.

You see, Social Security benefits were not suitable for persons of
their rare
elevation in society. They felt they should have a special plan for
themselves
So, many years ago they voted in their own benefit plan.

In more recent years, no congress person has felt the need to change it.
After all,
it is a great plan.

For all practical purposes their plan works like this:

When they retire, they continue to draw the same pay until they die.

Except it may increase from time to time for cost of living adjustments.
.....

For example, Senator Byrd and Congressman White and their wives may expect
to draw
$7, 800,000.00 (that's Seven Million, Eight-Hundred Thousand Dollars),
with their
wives drawing $275, 000..00 during the last years of their lives.

This is calculated on an average life span for each of those two
Dignitaries.
Younger Dignitaries who retire at an early age, will receive much more
during the
rest of their lives.

Their cost for this excellent plan is $0.00. ZIP!! NADA! ZILCH!

This little perk they voted for themselves is free to them. You and I
pick up the
tab for this plan. The funds for this fine retirement plan come directly
from the
General Funds;

OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK"!

From our own Social Security Plan, which you and I pay (or have paid)
into, every
payday until we retire (which amount is matched by our employer ), We
can expect
to get an average of $1,000 per month after retirement.


Or, in other words, we would have to collect our average of $1,000 monthly
benefits
for 68 years and one (1) month to equal Senator Bill Bradley's benefits!

Social Security could be very good if only one small change were made.


That change would be to Jerk the Golden Fleece Retirement Plan from under
the
Senators and Congressmen. Put them into the Social Security plan with the
rest of
us.

Then sit back.....
And see how fast they would fix it!

If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted
and maybe
good changes will evolve.

How many people can YOU send this to?

Better yet......
How many people WILL you send this to ?



And while I have your attention, what about the health care bill? How can
Congress
force a health care plan on the public (the taxpayers) that does not apply
equally to
all senators and representatives? ....AAC

That makes 2010 even better. I knew that but just went ahead and blithely
