    THIS IS A VERY FAIR AMENDMENT TO OUR CONSTITUTION. NO ONE IS ABOVE OR BETTER THAN THE AVERAGE AMERICAN. THE ELECTED PEOPLE HAVE PUT THEMSELVES INTO A CATEGORY FAR ABOVE EVERYONE ELSE. WE SUPPORT THE 29TH AMENDMENT AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT ADOPTED INTO OUR CONSTITUTION ASAP.

    Based mainly on false statements about inequities between congress and citizens. I advise do some research on C.C.A. of 1995 law. Check out L. M. M. comment reference to thoughtco.com.

    Equality is Government of the people, for the people and by the people. Equality of every American Citizen should not be questioned. No elected official should received perferential treatment. I totally support this proposed ammendment.

    It's really a crime to give yourself exemption status and make everyone else pay. This puts you above the law that you hold us too. After your first term in office you should go back to your regular lives with maybe a 10,000 a month for serving. Or better yet the same retirement the military gets when they reture.

    Maybe if Congress abided by the same rules as every American, we could get descent healthcare, tax reform. Why are so many congress members rich?

    Congress should be governed by the same laws they pass to place us under. Their should be no exemptions for Congress. All laws should apply equally to Senators and Representatives as to the general public.

    I feel that this proposal would fix the issues that we currently face in this country. If this was to pass just think how long it would take to fix health care. A lot more thought would be put into it that is for sure.

    Congress is supposed to represent the citizens - whatever law applies to the citizens must apply to Congressional members also, otherwise Congress does not represent its citizens.

    When any Public Servant tries or wants to proclaim him/her self a deity we the American people desperately need to regroup & think harder about who/whom we elect! This is a scary Amendment! Since when do you/they make themselves Above all laws as those that apply for the rest of mainstream Americans?

    Congress members should be servants to We the People. Instead they live high on the hog, excuse themselves from laws and rules they dislike, use insider information to get rich, accept bribes, gifts, and deals from opposite party leaders. This was never the intent, and never used to be the case until we had spoiled greedy slick speaking liars who stay in government as a profession and moocher, not as a servant. Term limits are a must, as well as strict rules on same laws, benefits and not special treatment or exceptions to get rich on insider information or lobbyist. Its a true swamp of the worst type of people today, with few exceptions for those that manage to stay untainted during the process. I support term limits and same laws, no exceptions for those who serve the people.

    Their position in government is to watch over the safety and security of the citizens - none of this "better" than the rest exempt attitude ...
