Subject: Take a stand or don't complain!!!

I have totally cleaned this e-mail from all other names, sending it to you
in hopes you will keep it going and keep it clean.

This is something I will fight for and I hope you all read it all the way
through. You will be glad you did.

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.

A letter from George McGovern to President Obama

 

 

President Barack Obama has inherited a serious economic crisis, but in his first two years in office he has been met with an even worse problem: the rigid opposition of the rival party leaders to national health care and nearly every other proposal he has made.

He has tried to avoid such divisions by publicly explaining his willingness to compromise, but these gestures have been spurned.

In 1963, the defense budget was $51 billion. This was at a time when our military experts felt it necessary to have the means to win a war against the combined powers of Russia and China. Today we have a military budget of over $700 billion, and yet neither Russia nor China threatens us. Nor does any other nation. Furthermore, the terrorist threat we face is not a military matter.

We need a new definition of “defense” that takes into account the quality of our education, the health of our people, the preservation of the environment, the strength of our transportation, the development of alternative fuels, the vigor of our democracy.

The direct and indirect costs of the Iraq war will amount to $3 trillion. This represents nearly a quarter of our national debt. I suspect that the war in Afghanistan will eventually cost another $3 trillion and we still will not have achieved our aim.

I would like to suggest a few bold steps President Obama might consider for the good of his soul and that of the nation.

SUGGESTED SPENDING REDUCTIONS:

1.     We should bring our troops home from Afghanistan this year.

2.     We should close all U.S. bases in the Arab world.

3.     We should evaluate whether it is necessary to continue other American troop consignments to Europe, South Korea, and elsewhere.

4.     President Obama should call the Pentagon to reduce the current military budget of $700 billion—a figure that accounts for almost half of the world’s military expenditures— to $500 billion next year, and then, over the next five years, to $200 billion.

5.     The Bush tax cuts for those with higher incomes should be not only re- pealed but reversed; with an increase in taxes for this bracket, the increased revenues could be used to reduce the national debt.

 

SUGGESTED SPENDING INCREASES:

1.     Savings in military spending could be used to launch valuable public investments, thereby creating jobs and stimulating the entire economy.

2.     The president should also revive the full provisions of the World War II–era G.I. bill.

3.     Another wise public investment would be the expansion of Medicare to all Americans.

4.     Another wise public investment would be the expansion of Medicare to all Americans. Some of the recently proposed health-care legislation has been so lengthy and complicated that I am not sure what is contained in it, but we all know what Medicare is. We could reduce the impenetrable legislation to a simple sentence: “Congress hereby extends Medicare to all Americans.”  To soften the impact of this expansion on the budget, I propose that the program be implemented in steps every two years over a period of eight years: the first step including children up to the age of eight; the second, those from nine to eighteen; the third, those from nineteen through thirty; and finally, those from thirty-one through sixty-five.

None of this is intended as a criticism of Barack Obama, who had my support when he was a candidate for the United States presidency and who has my support today. I hope that some of the ideas here might help him on the road to greatness. I wish him well on the journey ahead.

--SINCERELY, GEORGE MCGOVERN

sanity is a communicable disease"!  Just take a look at how many idiots voted for Obama

The Prez Turns White Barack Obama got out of the shower and was drying off when he looked in the mirror and noticed that he was white from the neck to the top of his head.   In a sheer panic and fearing he was turning white all over, he called his doctor and told him what had happened. The doctor advised him to come to his office immediately. After an examination, the doctor mixed a concoction of brown liquid, gave it to Barack, and told him to drink it all. Barack drank the concoction and said, "That tasted like Bull Shit!"  "It was." the doctor replied, "You were a quart low."
