What are the chances of this one passing congress and allowing the States to vote on it?
Proposed Amendment # 28 to the US Constitution
"Congress shall make no law that applies to any citizen of the United States that does not apply equally to all US Senators and Representatives. Congress shall make no law that applies to any US Senator or Representative that does not apply equally to all citizens of the United States. All existing laws and regulations that do not meet these criteria shall be declared null and void!"

+5This would be the greatest thing to happen to American politics. Finally, something to make the congress & senate personally responsible to their constituents! Oh yeah, I signed the petition, Miss Hazzard! Thanks!
This is pretty much the exact same thing. It a fun watch though.
I'm asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on your address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise. 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 and 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. Congress...

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!!!!!
treated as we the people are!!!!!

I am for anything short of communism, socialism, islam or bringing back vigilantes that would get our political world back in control of the people. Now, let's see how many of our esteemed politicians actually back and vote for this.

Proposed 28th amendment to the U S Constitution
THEY CAN PROPOSE ANOTHER AMENDMENT BUT NOT REINVENT THIS ONE!
Please ask yourself this, if we can not pass this amendment, can we in fact do anything in these matters? My answer is no, nothing. Nothing equals zero, zero is a vacuum; “We the people” are in a vacuum. I don’t know about you, but in this vacuum that Washington has created for us it’s hard to breathe. In essence all of our votes for politicians are moot and they will have no real bearing for what we want our future to be. Oh yes we are foolhardily obliged and free to continue to bitch about the state of the state and as previously acknowledged “we the people” can be “along for the ride”. Somewhere in time these abuses must stop. A resolve like this amendment would make a true statement of how we feel and what we are willing to do about it. I will vote for this amendment because I want out of the car for I am very disappointed in the ride. There is power in the people and what we can do in these matters when we all together just focus.
