    In it's current form... it's to damn general. I see a lot of wiggle room for the criminally manipulative. It needs to be reworded to be more inclusive. 28th Amendment: "Congress shall make and pass no law that exempts the Members of the United States Senate and the Members of the United Sates House of Representatives from any and all laws that the two Chambers of Congress pass that apply to the Citizens of the United States and the District of Columbia." (the District of Columbia is not part of the United States...Believe it!) Congress shall make no rules in the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives that give Members of both Chambers of Congress greater Medical, Educational, Financial Benefits or unfair advantage over other Federal, State, Municipal Employees or Employees in the Private Sector of the United States or the District of Columbia. While in the service of their office or in their retirement benefits plan. Any Senate Rules or House of Representative Rules that currently apply to, and are made by the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives that unfairly put the aforementioned Members of the two Chambers of Congress above other Federal, State, Municipal or Private Sector Employees... in the law or in equity and that are contrary to the letter and spirit of our United States Constitution shall be abolished. " That'll do it! Who's doing this petition? I need to get this to them.

    Congress and the president fantasizing that they're above the law? Preposterous! Apparently it isn't absurd enough that millions of American voters made the same terrible mistake at their local ballot box on 11/01/2016 by choosing a lolcow as our president, and how many lolcows would be offended by said wisecrack about the worst presidential candidate ever is anyone's guess!

It can be caused by trauma on the urinary tract or by infections received from the rest of the body. A patient may go through testicular pain, small of the back pains and urination problems. Although it is uncommon, it may be treated by removal from the prostate defect accompanied by making use antibiotics and NSAIDs to deal with the soreness. Non-bacterial prostatitis makes up about approximately 90% of all prostatitis cases; however, researchers have not to establish what causes these conditions.

    I am not able to use my name due to a current case that has not yet been resolved and we are filing civil rights, ADA and HIPAA complaints for several violations of those laws but the accusations were false, I am a RN and can prove it but after $17,000 the attorney advised that the judge is not going to follow the law (he had already said he wouldn't - in court because legally he didn't have jurisdiction over the case but said he wasn't going to follow that law and he was keeping jurisdiction. Every rule, regulation was not followed and several laws were violated against my daughter and granddaughter, there is no accountability. Agains our better judgement we were told by my daughter's attoreny and my attorney that an ACD was the best way to get through this but that just gives them 6 months to make more stuff up and require services that are no longer necessary to further destroy my family. there are 3 generations fighting from 2 states for what's right and are up against brick wall not able to get anywhere in NYS. We were told this particular count is about reproach and are a "rogue county", the family court system is above reproach (this all from her attorney). It is disheartening and an emotional, spritual and mental battle that affects every aspect of all our lives especially my grandchild's. We are financially broke trying to fight for what's right and we are far from over. It's been almost a year now and there just doesn't seem to be an end in site and the fear we live with everyday that if we say any words they will twist and turn them into something they are not or completely lie which they have done including comitting perjury with no repercussions. We were told by the attorney that the evidence needed for family court is so low that we would have to pursue it through the appellate court and then to supreme court if we wanted justice which would take anywhere from 5-10 years and between $50k to $100K. We may already lose our home because of the costs and we couldn't do that so my daughter was basically forced to consent to the 6 month ACD. This must stop! There should be a jury present during the trial just like any other especially because families are being treated worse than criminals are and have less protections. The court rooms should be open public forums to allow family, friends, reports, and others into the room so they can see how absurd this all is.

    Amen, equality for all!!! Even though it will never be since we have no way to monitor the government officials to make sure they are being fair and applying all laws to everyone the same. Not letting them get away with all kinds of crap, then, getting help to cover it up from everyone around them. Just because they are rich, or because they are the government and the second or third generation family member in office, blah blah blah. Whatever the reason, whoever. You are, we should all be sharing everything the same inspite of differences in our sex, religion, Creed, education, family status or financial status ect. It was supposed to be that way from the starting point of the government. So if it hasn't been done by now it will never be done period. But it's a wonderful thought.

    There is also a proposed 28th amemdment which is promoting the over turn of the Supreme Court's Citizen's United decision of 2010 which allow unlimited campaign donations and says that corporations have the same rights as individuals pertaining to this. Can the items mentioned above and getting big money out of politics be combined in one amendment proposal. ??
