To: The United States House of Representatives and The United States Senate
Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution
Amend Constitution, or otherwise require Congress to follow the same laws they pass for all citizens of the United States. No exepmtions for themselves or others they may wish to exempt, period. The self-serving must stop.
Why is this important?
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 that passed ... 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.
