Stop Congress from passing laws to benefit themselves

I don't usually send these-but something's got to give!
 
It's at least a start…

An idea whose time has come.

For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of Congress.  Many citizens have no idea that members of Congress can retire with the same pay after only one term, that they don't pay into Social Security, that they specifically exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed (such as being exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment) while ordinary citizens must live under those laws.  The latest is to exempt themselves from the Healthcare Reform that is being considered...in all of its forms.  Somehow, that doesn't seem logical.  We now have an elite that is above the law.  I truly don't care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent or whatever.  The self-serving must stop.  There is at least one way to start.  It is an idea whose time has come.

Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution

"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."
If you agree, then please send this to your Senators and Representatives and forward it to a minimum of 20 people on your address list and ask each of those to do likewise.
In three days, congress and most people in The United States of America will have the message.
This is one proposal that really should be passed around.
 
You are one of my 20.
