To: The United States House of Representatives and The United States Senate
Making Congress Equal to the Everyday person
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 ."
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 ."
Why is this important?
This is an idea that we should address.
For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of
Congress. Many citizens had no idea that members of Congress could retire with the same pay after only one term, 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... in all of its forms. Also, their children do not have to repay their college loans. What a racket.
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.
