Congressional Reform Act of 2012 authored by Warren Buffet

Warren Buffett, in a recent interview with CNBC, offers one of the
best
quotes about the debt ceiling:

"I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC. "You just pass a
law
that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all
sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election.

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, e-mail, cell phones, etc.

Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took one (1) year
or
less to become the law of the land - all because of public pressure.

Warren Buffet is 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 2012

1. No Tenure / No Pension.

A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no
pay
when they're 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/women are void
effective
12/1/12. The American people did not make this contract with
Congressmen/women.
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 contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only
take
three days for most people (in the U.S. ) to receive the message.
Don't you think it's time?

THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!

If you agree, pass it on. If not, delete.
You are one of my 20+ - Please keep it going, and thanks

Yes, does this apply to Buffet and if you think so, prove it.
Was this him as a child?

At the foundation of the great permaculture monolith (or poly-lith)
is the anti war principle. How we get there is another matter. How does 
the pc third ethic relate to this?

"The oppressed are allowed every few years to decide which particular
representatives of the oppressing class are to represent and oppress 
them." -  Karl Marx

Here's what Bertolt Brecht had to say about people's interest, or lack 
of, in politics:
