No
one has been able to explain to me why young men and women serve in the
U.S. Military for 20 years, risking their lives protecting freedom, and
only get 50% of their pay. While Politicians hold their political
positions in the safe confines of the capital, protected by these same
men and women, and receive full pay retirement after serving one term.
It just does not make any sense.

Monday on Fox news they learned that the staffers of Congress family
members are exempt from having to pay back student loans. This will get
national attention if other news networks will broadcast it. When you
add this to the below, just where will all of it stop?
35 States file lawsuit against the Federal Government
Governors
of 35 states have filed suit against the Federal Government for
imposing unlawful burdens upon them. It only takes 38 (of the 50) States
to convene a Constitutional Convention.

This will take less than thirty seconds to read.
If you agree, please pass it on.

This is an idea that we should address.
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...
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.

If
each person that receives this will forward it on to 20 people, in
three days, most people in The United States of America will have the
message.. This is one proposal that really should be passed around.

Proposed
28th Amendment to the United States Constitution: "Congress shall make
no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not
apply equally to the Senators and/or
Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the
Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the
citizens of the United States ."
I'd like to thank everyone who takes the time to answer my question and another thanks for those of you who 'share' my question with your friends. The more exposure this gets the better. We elect these selfish fruit cakes and we can kick their sorry @sses out by voting in someone else. They represent us, they work for us, and we can get rid of them just as easily as we elected them. That goes for Barry as well!

This is sooooooo wrong!!!
Lol you mean the same few thousand people will get it a hundred times each.
You're not alone, I'm pretty pissed off about it myself. That's why I posted this. Call your local representatives and tell them to vote yay on the 28th Amendment or they won't be receiving your vote in the future. Tell your family and friends to do the same. Those are the only things that we can do; spread the word on what's going, hope that they'll pass the info on and vote accordingly.

Taxpayers make millionaires out of politicians,while they destroy us.
They make their own raises,retirement plans and they don't have to take Obamacare...
They do it because,they get away with it,as they have been for many years.
The more they get away with it,the more they take.
It's just as much our fault,for letting them get away with it...
