  Warren Buffett, "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 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 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.See More
