Here is a Great Idea!

This is one idea that really should be passed around.

Congressional Reform Act of 2011

Term Limits

• 12 years max, some possible options are 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

• No Tenure / No Pension

• Members of Congress receive a salary while in office, that salary ends when they leave office.

• Congress members (past, present & future) are to participate in Social Security.
  A. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately.
  B. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with all Americans.
  C. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.

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

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

• Members of Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.

• All contracts with past and present members of Congress are void effective 1/1/12. The American people did not make the contract members of Congress enjoy, Congress made all these contracts for themselves.

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

If each person who reads this contacts a minimum of twenty people, and passes this on, it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S.) to receive the message. Maybe it is time. THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!

If you agree with the above, pass it on.  If not, just  run for office.

Bluffing?

Oh please, please . . .

Questions in Libya

via: Patriot Post

Last week, it was reported that a NATO air strike in Tripoli had killed a son and three grandchildren of Libyan strongman Moammar Gadhafi. That report, however, is now in question as the only confirmation is from the Gadhafi government itself. The family rarely stays in the same place for long, particularly given current circumstances. Also, Saif-al-Arab, one of Gadhafi’s sons, is 29, unmarried and childless and is not a senior military commander or other notable target.

Immigration Front: Border Agent Faces Time for Doing Job

Another Border Patrol agent, Jesus Diaz, has been prosecuted by Johnny Sutton, federal attorney for the Western District of Texas. In 2006, Sutton put two other agents, Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean away for “violating the rights” of a fleeing Mexican drug smuggler. Sutton’s tactics raised great protests, even from such senators as Dianne Feinstein and Arlen Specter.

Regarding a Crisis . . .

“You never want a serious crisis to go to waste” ~Rahm Emmanuel

“Crisis alone permitted the authorities to demand and obtain total submission and all necessary sacrifices from its citizens” ~Joseph Stalin

The Bolshevik revolution took place in 1917. The Socialists took over and killed Czar Nicholas and his family; killed all the leaders and took over all the farms and businesses. But afterward, after they had killed off all the business owners and confiscated all the farms, it so disrupted the county that the rest of the people were starving. So Lenin came up with a plan on how to get agriculture rolling again, trying to get the economy working again.

Eye-Witness Account from Egypt

Francis Frangipane reported that this was sent to his ministry recently from their friends at Generals.org. He felt that this report has more truth in it than anything he has heard on the news to date. This account is one of several they have received, yet the report cannot be independently verified. Please pray daily or more for the crisis in Egypt and also write your local newspapers, and share with them this eye-witness account (below). It can go in the “letters to the editor” page. Let’s get this word out to bring balance into this event, and especially let’s stand in faith for Egypt and its future.

Glenn Beck – Some Enemy! (by Rabbi Daniel Lapin)

A great nephew of Adolf Hitler converted to Judaism and is now living the life of a Torah-observant Jew in Israel. Understandably, he changed his name.

Rightly or wrongly, people lump us together with others of the same family, gender, age, nationality and religion. While businesses routinely discharge employees who hurt the company’s reputation and the individual above withdrew from his birth family, separating from a group is rarely easy.

America the Broke

Here comes a reckoning we won’t soon forget

If you’re one of the lucky ones in these economically depressed times, you have a job that comes with a steady paycheck. (Nine percent of Americans or more have not been so lucky for twenty straight months.)

But even for the fortunate gainfully employed among us, the economic situation is more dire than many are remotely aware.

Take your yearly pay. Subtract your local, state, and federal tax burdens. Then deduct the amount you are paying to service your personal debt, including mortgages, credit cards, business or student loans, etc.
