Constitution Amendment to Fix Congress
Congressional Reform Act of 2012
1. No Tenure / No Pension.
A member of Congress collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when out of office.
2. A member of 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 members of Congress are void effective 1/1/12. The American people did not make this contract with the members of Congress.
The members of Congress 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.
8. No person shall serve as a member of Congress more than two partials or full terms.
THIS IS HOW WE THE PEOPLE WILL FIX CONGRESS!

Why is this important?
Congress has gone too far by putting itself above the people, is corrupt and disfunctional.
America needs a constitutional amendment to bring congress back to the people.
