The Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.

Serving in Congress
8. Term limits will be set the same as president. A two term limit for all congressman/women will take effect immediately and all pensions stop for everyone past and present. They made enough money by being in office for two terms, now they can go and get a job with that nice resume they have, just like the rest of us would have to do.
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

Why is this important?
This has to be done or our country will never be the same again. Congress has done nothing in the last 12 years but drag down this country instead of doing the job that we the people have voted them to do. As citizens of this country we should feel proud of our country, but from what i see that has changed so we need to change the individuals that are causing all the havoc.
