Please read 28th amendment

Please Read, and forward.   This will only take 1 minute to read!
 28th Amendment, 35 States and Counting.
 
It will take you less than a minute to read this. If you agree, please pass it on. It's an idea whose time has come to deal with this self-serving situation:
 
 OUR PRESENT SITUATION !
 
Children of Congress members do not have to pay back their college student loans.
 
Staffers of Congress family members are also exempt from having to pay back student loans.
 
Members of Congress can retire at full pay after only one term.
 
Members of Congress have exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed, under which ordinary citizens must live.
 For example, they are exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment.
 
And as the latest example, they have exempted themselves from Healthcare Reform, in all of its aspects.
 
We must not tolerate an elite class of such people, elected as public servants and then putting themselves above the law.
 
I truly don't care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent, or whatever. The self-serving must stop.
 
Governors of 35 states have filed suit against the Federal Government for imposing unlawful burdens upon their states.It only takes 38 (of the 50) States to convene a Constitutional Convention.
 
If each person that receives this will forward it on to 20 people, in three days most people in The United States of America will have the message.
 
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 ..."
 
This is an idea that should be passed around, regardless of political party. 

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. And, no more perks go with them. 
• 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 must 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 (i.e. NO MORE INSIDER TRADING!!!).
• 7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women. Congress made all these contracts by and for themselves. 

Serving in Congress is an honor and privilege NOT a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators should serve their term(s), then go home and go back to work … not get all kinds of freebies.

José ‘Pepe’ Mujica

Neon Nettle : José ‘Pepe’ Mujica warns the public to stop wealthy politicians before it’s too late

The former President of Uruguay José ‘Pepe’ Mujica, also known as the World’s Poorest President, has issued a stark warning to the public:

“Remove the wealthy Elites from politics before it’s too late.”

In an emotional message to citizens worldwide, he has urged people to wake up to the financially motivated corruption that is rotting democracy from the core.

Mujica was the Uruguayan President between 2010 and 2015 and was a former urban guerrilla fighter with the Tupamaros who was imprisoned for 13 years during the military dictatorship in the 1970s and 1980s.

Often referred to as the “world’s most humble president”, he retired from office in 2015 with an approval rating of 70 percent and had touched people globally with his selfless messages.

He famously donated 90 percent of his salary to charity which offered a strong contrast to politics in the United States, where the average member of Congress is worth more than $1 million and corporations are free to donate to political campaigns with many of the same rights as individuals.

During an interview with CNN en Esp, ñol the former Uruguay President criticized world leaders for not truly representing the people, saying;

“We invented this thing called representative democracy, where we say the majority is who decides,”

“So it seems to me that we [heads of state] should live like the majority and not like the minority.”

“The red carpet, people who play — those things,” [Mujica said, mimicking a person playing a cornet.] ”

All those things are feudal leftovers. And the staff that surrounds the president are like the old court.”

COA reports: Mujica explained that he didn’t have anything against rich people, per se, but he doesn’t think they do a good job representing the interests of the majority of people who aren’t rich.

“I’m not against people who have money, who like money, who go crazy for money,” Mujica said.

“But in politics, we have to separate them.

We have to run people who love money too much out of politics, they’re a danger in politics…””People who love money should dedicate themselves to industry, to commerce, to multiply wealth.

But politics is the struggle for the happiness of all.”Asked why rich people make bad representatives of poor people, Mujica said: “They tend to view the world from their perspective, which is the perspective of money.”

“Even when operating with good intentions, the perspective they have of the world, of life, of their decisions, is informed by wealth.”

“If we live in a world where the majority is supposed to govern, we have to try to root our perspective in that of the majority, not the minority.”

Mujica has become well known for rejecting the symbols of wealth.In an interview in May, he lashed out against neckties in comments on Spanish television that went viral.

“The tie is a useless rag that constrains your neck,” Mujica said during the interview.

“I’m an enemy of consumerism. Because of this hyper consumerism, we’re forgetting about fundamental things and wasting human strength on frivolities that have little to do with human happiness.

“He lives on a small farm on the outskirts of the capital of Montevideo with his wife, Uruguayan Sen. Lucia Topolansky and their three-legged dog Manuela.He says he rejects materialism because it would rob him of the time he uses to enjoy his passions, like tending to his flower farm and working outside.

“I don’t have the hands of a president,” Mujica told CNN. “They’re kind of mangled.”
