REFORM CONGRESS
Congressional Reform Act of 2013
1.- NO Tenure / NO Pension
A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives NO PAY when they're out of office.
2.- 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%. SO WILL THE MINIMUM PAY for the American Workers.
5.- Congress looses their current healthcare system and participates in the SAME HEALTHCARE SYSTEM AS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
6.- Congress will EQUALLY ABIDE by all laws they impose on the American people.
7.- All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 12/31/13. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women.
Congressmen/women made these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizens legislators, so ours should serve their term(s) then go home and back to work.
If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people, then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S.) to receive and sign this petition.

Why is this important?
It's easy for Congress to impose the sequester on the American people. To dictate AUSTERITY in our lives and negatively affect our destiny. Especially because every single Congressmen/women are fully aware that this same AUSTERITY they are imposing on the American people, will never reach their own kitchen tables or affect their own sons and daughters. Don't you think it's time we change that?
