Default The 28th Amendment - the time has come

This is floating around the email system... want to add your input?

28th Amendment for Congress Reform

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).


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. It doesn’t matter if they are Democrat, Republican, or Independent.

Here is an idea whose time has come.


Have each person contact 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 proposal that really should be passed around.



The 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 ALL of the citizens of the United States of America. This admendment is retroactive and also applies to all laws passed by Congress since 1900."

P.S. I added the last sentence.

Thumbs up Re: The 28th Amendment - the time has come

Greeting's Carol

HERE HERE

I totally agree!
I believe many American's are finally beginning to hear the call of your drumbeat

For way to long~ these elitist (elected civil servants) have given (looked after) themselves first and separately!!

The only way for there to be transparency in government is to amend many of these past discrepancies with the American voters. One of these discrepancies> that has always got my goat is the sneaky way congress usually discreetly adds a congressinal pay-raise for themselves~ within essential legislative bills.

All citizen's and legal resident's should be covered equally. If individuals or families or businesses (entities) who want to supplement (at their expense) this basic health care package~ that could be an option as well.
But~ I will all go a bit further and add~ no human should be denied any emergency health care > within the U.S. or its protective territories anytime!

I'd like to hear our mutual friend peaceandlove weigh in on this as well


I would not hesitate too vote for the 28th
