			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We need to get a Senator to introduce this bill in the US Senate and a Representative to introduce a similar bill in the US House.</p>
<p>Congressional Reform Act of 2010</p>
<p>1. Term Limits: 12 years only, one of the possible options below.</p>
<p>A. Two Six year Senate terms<br />
B. Six Two year House terms<br />
C. One Six year Senate term and three Two Year House terms</p>
<p>2. No Tenure / No Pension:</p>
<p>A congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.</p>
<p>3. Congress (past, present &amp; future) participates in Social Security:</p>
<p>All funds in the Congressional retirement fund moves to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, Congress participates with the American people.</p>
<p>4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan just as all Americans.</p>
<p>5. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.</p>
<p>6. Congress looses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.</p>
<p>7. Congress must equally abide in all laws they impose on the American people.</p>
<p>8. All contracts with past and present congressmen are void effective 1/1/11.</p>
<p>The American people did not make this contract with congress, congressmen and congresswomen made all these contracts for themselves.</p>
<p><strong><em>Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and back to work. </em></strong></p>
<p>________________________________________</p>
<p>Amendment 28</p>
<p>Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives and Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;When the people fear their government there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8211;Thomas Jefferson</em></p>
