Use this E-mail Template to Contact YOUR Senators and Congressmen to Institute the "Congressional Reform Act of 2013"

I am asking you to present/or move a bill called "The Congressional Reform Act of 2012."  I just sent this to Senator Chuck Schumer, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, and Congressman Tim Bishop. Please feel free to copy and paste the template portion of this post.It contains the following;

1. No Tenure/No Pension

2.A Congressman/woman receives pay when they are in office, they receive no pay when not in office.

3.Congress (Past, Present, and Future)participates in Social Security.

4. 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.

5. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.

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

7. Congress loses their current health care insurance and participates in the health care marketplace exchanges.

8. Congress must equally abide by the impose on the American people.

9. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void 12/01/2013. The American people did not make these contracts with the Congressmen/women.

I believe this may have been suggested by Warren Buffet as a way to lower the debt. Either way I think it's a great proposal. I realize the Congress getting paid is in the constitution so if a constitutional amendment is called for, so be it.

Please let me know at your earliest convenience where you stand on this proposal.

Thank you for your great service in the past.

Know your Representatives, How to Contact Them, And How their Voting

Know your Representatives, How to Contact Them, And How their Voting

by John A. Smith (Medic3569's blog)

In the House of Representatives our Congressmen are not representing the people. They are representing their own interests. They seem to be working simply to get reelected. Even when the vast majority of constituents are strongly in favor of something, or strongly against something, representatives will vote the opposite of what the people want. One way to make them hear our voices is to contact them, let them know that we are paying attention to what they do. Sadly, many people couldn't even tell you who their representatives are. Ask your friends who their United States Senators are, who their State Senators are, who their Congressmen and Assemblymen are, who their local politicians are. Chances are you will be surprised with the results.Medic3569's blog will give people a way to find out who all of their representatives are, but how to contact them, and how to track their actions and votes. Stay tuned as we build the blog.
