This would make a great gesture to the country that Congress is serious about changing things and it is not just all talk. Especially give this to Rubio. -

Let the benefits that our government "leadership" enjoy be the mirror of the military that protects their ability to be selected for service to their country.REPORT COMMENTS

Since we are going to have a 12 member "Super Committee" making all the important decisions for this country, the rest of the Congressmen and women should be laid off as their services will no longer be needed. They've shown they are not capable of making decision for the well-being of this country and in any private institution, they would have been fired a long time ago. I, as their employer, demand they are fired!REPORT COMMENTS

The 8 Point Pledge of 20 Turns: I Pledge to vote against any politician that fails to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. I Pledge to end the Congressional Crisis by voting in 2010 and 2012 ...to remove every career politician in Congress. I Pledge my vote only to candidates that will promise no new spending programs until failed programs are repaired or eliminated. I Pledge to only support candidates that have run a successful private business, not career politicians. I Pledge my vote only to candidates that practice and support permanent Term Limits for Congress and ending Congressional pension programs and retirement benefits. I Pledge my vote only to candidates that will work to end the influence of professional paid lobbyists and their campaign dollars. I Pledge my vote only to those that will stop the voter fraud and manipulation which is corrupting our election process. I Pledge to abandon any political party whose candidates serve themselves and the party instead of We, the People.REPORT COMMENTS

ALERT...BERNIE MADOFF....AND SOCIAL SECURITY...and be sure to forward this to every single American citizen, young and old. "SECURITY" WHOSE, SECURITY, YOUR FUTURE SECURITY ??? HELL NO, THEIR SECURITY.......WHICH IS WHY THEY CONTINUE TO RAISE THE DEBT CEILING. ..YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY IS NOT IN A LOCK BOX TRUST FUND AS THEY PROMISED. IT'S A BIG LIE.....QUESTION...HOW/WHY​ ARE WE CONTINUING TO ALLOW THIS TO CONTINUE....THIS IS EMBEZZLEMENT A FELONY OF IMMENSE PROPORTION..... BY WHITE COLLAR THIEVES.....WHO NEED TO BE INDICTED......IT'S OUR MONEY...OUR CHILDREN'S MONEY.........THEIR FUTURE WILL NO LONGER EXIST IF WE DON'T ACT.....WHY AREN'T WE DESCENDING UPON DC EN MASSE IN THE TENS OF MILLIONS DEMANDING THESE THIEVES ARE ALL PUT IN JAIL ? WHY ? SHAME ON US...MAKE THE CALLS TO YOUR REPS AND TELL THEM THE SCAM IS UP. Why did Bernie Madoff go to prison? To make it simple, he convinced people into investing with him. Trouble was, he didn't invest their money. As time rolled on he simply took the money from the new investors to pay off the old investors. Finally there were too many old investors and not enough money from new investors coming in to keep the payments going.Next thing you know Madoff is one of the most hated men in America and he is off to jail. Some of you know this. But not enough of you. Madoff did to his investors what the government has been doing to us for over 70 years with Social Security. There is no meaningful difference between the two schemes, except that one was operated by a private individual who is now in jail, and the other is operated by politicians who enjoy perks, privileges and status in spite of their actions. Do you need a side-by-side comparison here? Well here's a nifty little chart. BERNIE MADOFF SOCIAL SECURITY Takes money from investors with the promise that the money will be invested and made available to them later. Takes money from wage earners with the promise that the money will be invested in a "Trust Fund" (Lock Box) and made available later. Instead of investing the money Madoff spends it on nice homes in the Hamptons and yachts. Instead of depositing money in a Trust Fund the politicians transfer it to the General Revenue Fund and use it for general spending, paying for services that SS was never intended for and to people who never paid one dime into SS When the time comes to pay the investors back Madoff simply uses some of the new funds from newer investors to pay back the older investors. When benefits for older investors become due the politicians pay them with money taken from younger and newer wage earners to pay the older geezers. When Madoff's scheme is discovered all hell breaks loose. New investors won't give him any more cash. When Social Security runs out of money the politicians try to force the taxpayers to send them some more; or they reduce S/S to all those who paid into it and push the retirement age up and up. Bernie Madoff is in jail. Politicians remain in WREPORT COMMENTS

This petition is long overdue. The citizens of this country must seize control from those who, once elected, turn their backs on us.REPORT COMMENTS
