This could be a solution to our budget problems!
The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971...before computers, before e-mail, before cell phones, etc.
Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took 1 year or less to become the law of the land...all because of public pressure.
I'm asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise.
In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around.
Congressional Reform Act of 2011
1. No Tenure / No Pension.
A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.
2. 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. It may not be used for any other purpose.
3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.
4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.
6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.
7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 1/1/12. 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, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.
If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then 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 delete.
You are one of my 20+. Please keep it going.

MOM'S EMPTY CHAIR
A woman's daughter had asked the local minister
To come and pray
With her mother.
When the minister arrived,
He found the woman
Lying in bed with her head
Propped up on two
Pillows.
An empty chair sat beside her bed.
The minister assumed that the woman
Had been informed
Of his visit.
'I guess you were expecting me,' he said.
'No, who are you?' said the mother.
The minister told her his name and then remarked,
'I saw the empty
Chair and I figured you knew
I was going
To show up.'
'Oh yeah, the chair,' said the bedridden woman.
'Would you mind closing the door?'
Puzzled, the minister shut the door.
'I have never told anyone this,
Not even my daughter,'
Said the woman.
'But all of my life I have never
Known how to pray.
At church I used
To hear the pastor talk about prayer,
But it went right
Over my head.'
'I abandoned any attempt at prayer,'
The old woman continued,
Until one day four
Years ago, my best friend said to me,
'Prayer is
Just a simple matter
Of having a conversation
With Jesus.
Here is what I suggest.
'Sit down in a chair;
Place an empty chair
In front of you,
And in faith see Jesus on the chair.
It is not spooky because he promised,
'I will be with you
always'.
'Then just speak to him in the same way
You are doing with
Me right now.'
'So, I tried it and I have liked it so much
I do it a couple
Of hours every day.
I am careful though. If my daughter
Saw me talking
To an empty chair,
She would either have a nervous breakdown
Or send me off to
The funny farm.'
The minister was deeply moved by the story and
Encouraged the old
Woman to continue on the journey.
Then he prayed with her, anointed her with oil,
And returned to the
Church.
Two nights later the daughter called
To tell the minister
That her mama
Had died this afternoon.
'Did she die in peace?' he asked.
'Yes, when I left the house about two o'clock,
She called me over
To her bedside,
Told me she loved
Me and kissed me on the cheek.
When I got back from the store an hour later,
I found her.
But there was something strange about her death.
Apparently, just
Before Mom died,
She leaned over and
Rested her head on the chair
Beside the bed. What
Do you make of that?'
The minister wiped a tear from his eye and said,
'I wish we could
All go like this.'
Just send this to four people or more,
And do not break
This, please.
Prayer is one of the best free gifts we receive.
I asked God for water, He gave me an ocean.*
I asked God for a flower, He gave me a garden.*
I asked God for a friend, He gave me YOU.*
If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.*
Happy moments, praise God.*
Difficult moments, seek God..*
Quiet moments, worship God.*
Painful moments, trust God.*
Every moment, thank God.*
