Forum Post: Washington is the Problem!

For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of Congress. Many citizens had no idea that Congress members could retire with the same pay after only one term, that they didn't pay into Social Security, 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 that is being considered...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.

This is a good way to do that. It is an idea whose time has come. 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 Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States". In addition, Term Limits for Senators and Representatives and remove all Lobbyist and special interest groups from Washington.

Why are they exempt from the laws they make for us??? Why do they write there own rules which only applies to only them??? Aren’t Politian’s the same as the Wall Street fat cats??? 99% percent of the crooks in Washington get there donations from Wall Street and big Corporations.

YOU SHOULD BE PROTESTING WASHINGTON DC! REMOVE THE SELF SERVING POLITIAN’S (the list is long) IN WASHINGTON AND YOU WILL FIX WALL STREET AND THE COUNTRY.
