> 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 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. 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 2012
>
> 1. No Tenure / No Pension.
> A Congressman/woman collects a salary while
> in office and receives no pay when they're 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 in to 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/women are void effective 12/1/12. The American people did not
> make this contract with Congressmen/women.
>
> Congress 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. Don't you think it's time?
>
> THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!
>
> If you agree, pass it on. If not, delete.

> You are one of my 20+ - Please keep it going, and thanks
