WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO: Reform Congress so that it is EQUAL to & a part of the public it governs. Reform Congress so that they:
Receive no pension & all funds in the Congressional retirement fund (past, present, & future) move to Social Security
Are subject to the same laws as the common people.
Cannot accept ANY MONEY from Lobbyists, Companies, or Corporations.
Cannot vote themselves a pay raise. (It will rise by the lower of 3% or CPI).
Have the same health care plan as the common people, not a special one just for them.
Anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election.
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.
Read the Rules
