Warren Buffett, in a recent interview with CNBC, offers one of the best quotes about the debt ceiling: "I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC. "You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election” The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971...before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc. Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took 1 year or less to become the law of the land...all because of public pressure. In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around. Congressional Reform Act of 2011 1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are 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%. 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 Congressmen are void effective 1/1/12. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen. Congressmen 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. 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 the message. Maybe it is time. THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!!!!! If you agree with the above, pass it on. If not, just delete. You are one of my 20+.. Please keep it going.

Warren Buffett, "I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," "You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election. The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971 - before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc. Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took one (1) year or less to become the law of the land - all because of public pressure. Warren Buffet is asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise.

“We want to strengthen our relationships between our parents, and our families, and our schools” – Marganna Stanley, HCS End of Week Message Special Summer Edition, June 5, 2020 PARENTS want a voice in what happens with return to sports and school. WE are the experts on our children and OUR CONCERNS need to be heard. NO ONE has a greater investment in our children’s welfare than US and yet, we are being left out of the discussion while decisions are being made, that will impact – and HARM - OUR children! It is illogical to think we can eliminate all risks to our children. A certain level of risk is unavoidable, so the task becomes determining what level of risk is acceptable and whether the cost of avoiding a particular risk, is too high. In this case, the “solutions” being presented, are worse than the problem. The cost is too high. So high, in fact, that numerous families that have never before even considered sending their kids to another school, or home-schooling their kids – are now feeling forced to consider those options. In addition, while we have not been informed as to what our school district actually has to abide by, we have observed that the information provided by the KDE is entitled, "Reopening Guidance" and says things like "KDE has prepared a framework to guide the reopening conversation." Repeatedly throughout the document, the word "guidance" along with words like "recommends" and "encourages" are used. Therefore, we implore our school administration and school board to listen to what PARENTS believe is best for our children. We want our kids to go back to school and sports/activities, NORMALLY. NTI days is NOT an option most of us want. We want: • Sports to resume as of June 15th, as approved by the Governor, KHSAA, the CDC, AND our local health department • A regular, in-person, 5 day a week schedule for everyone *with an option for any parent that has concerns, to allow their child to attend class virtually (this should be feasible since it’s part of the administration’s current proposal for 50% of students to do on alternate days) • NO MASKS *with an option for students to be allowed to wear a mask, if their parent chooses • No social distancing • Not eating lunch in their classrooms • Not restricting their schedules or making them stay in one classroom with the same kids all day • NOT taking away recess, PE, assemblies, or ANYTHING else. We want NORMAL – NOT “new normal”. And here’s why:

In response to a popular email circulating the internet nick-named the Buffet Rule; I've decided to start a petition to force congress to vote on the provisions outline in the proposal. Its time for our government to listen to common sense reforms that liberals, conservatives and independents alike agree with, and I believe this is that starting point.

During a routine divorce hearing in Clark County, Nevada, presided over by Judge Patricia Doninger, a young woman named Monica Contreras was sexually assaulted by a court Marshall. Her dignity as a human being and her rights were forcibly violated, so we DEMAND that an ethics commission be established to seek further action. We demand that Judge Patricia Doninger be held accountable for her misconduct as a public official.
