A Message from 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 ar ineligible for re-election.

The 26^th 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.

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%.

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 1/1/12. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women.

Congressmen/women 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

only take three days for most people (in the U.S.) to receive the message.  Don’t you think it’s time?              

If you agree with the above, pass it on. Something needs to be done!
