Congressional Reform Act of 2010

1. Term Limits.

   12 years using one of the possible options below:

   A. Two Six-year Senate terms, and
   B. Six Two-year House terms, or
   C. One Six-year Senate term and three Two-Year House terms

2.   No Tenure / No Pension.

   A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when out of office.
 

3.   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 along with the American people.

4.  Members of Congress construct and/or invest in their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.

5.  Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise.   
   Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

6.  Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.

7.  Congress must abide by all laws they impose on the American people.

8.  All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 1/1/11.  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 who serve their term(s) and then return home to resume their career work.  

 
If you agree with the above, please let all of your friends, acquaintances, people you pass or see, know.
