For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of Congress. Many citizens had no idea that Congress members could retire with the same pay after only one term, that they didn't pay into Social Security, that they specifically exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed 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 do not 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. This is a good way to do that. 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 Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States "..
Each person contact a minimum of twenty people on their Address list, in turn ask each of those to do likewise.
Then in three days, all people in The United States of America will have the Message. This is one proposal that really should be passed around.
Finally a proposal that actually makes sense!
Send this around!

This sounds too good to be true. Does it need to be checked out on snopes.com?

OK John using "Acorns" as a metaphor makes my skin crawl. Although this is a great amendment. What bothers me is goverment workers in general being exempt from things like Social Security because they have PERS, but if I have a Sep-IRA I do not get excluded.

Gene, not quite sure what you mean by the "skin crawl" reference but what is a PERS?

You have been brainwashed by what they call relioign'. And you have NO IDEA if the bible was written by god' himself or not. You can't know that. You take it on faith. So, you believe all that stuff you mentioned ON FAITH, not fact. So by your logic if i had faith that the moon was made of cheese, that would make it true? God, why are religious people so stupid and believe anything a book tells them? You don't even know if someone tampered with the message, or ANYTHING.
