We The People Think Congress Is Out Of Line.

1. Term Limits.

12 years only, one of the possible options below..

A. Two Six-year Senate terms
B. Six Two-year House terms
C. One Six-year Senate term and three Two-Year House terms

2. No Tenure / No Pension.

A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.

3. 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.

4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.

5. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

6. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.

7. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.

8. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 1/1/11.

The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen. Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves.

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and back to work.See More

It's we tell them, instead the reverse, what to do. They're our employees.
I think this is long past coming, and sincerely hope our lawwmakers take into account that we hired them, and will fire them if they don't get in line with our wishes.
It is about time the Bums are thrown out!!!
Remember, "We The People"!
WHY should congress be ABOVE the laws they make? Pay taxes, have the same insurance, and WORK for your job, not just have money to keep it. Retirement? WORK for it, like the people do you are "supposed" to represent. WE the people, NOT YOU the people of this country!
12 years ,are you kidding,how would you like to have to keep a bad chef for 12 yrs knowing you`ll have no business after that.
