Warren Buffett, "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 1 year or less to become the law of the land...all because of public pressure.
I am 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 2019*
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 & 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. 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 7/1/19. 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!!!!! If you agree with the above, pass it on.

Texas Republicans are trying to force public schools to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom.

I told the bill author: “This bill is not only un-constitutional and un-American, it’s deeply un-Christian.” #txlege

There’s a new face of justice in #Michigan!

#Justice Kyra Harris Bolden made history when she was sworn in as an associate justice of the Michigan #SupremeCourt, becoming the youngest and first #Blackwoman to sit on the state’s high court at 34 years old.

Bolden is no stranger to accruing accolades, as she had the highest number of bills passed by any freshman representative. She once again made history just four years later when #Governor #GretchenWhitmer appointed her to the Michigan Supreme Court, eighty-four years after Bolden’s great-grandfather was lynched.

“My family has gone from lynching to law school and from injustice to Capital J, Justice,” Bolden told #ESSENCE.

In an era where states like #SouthCarolina are moving backward and losing Black court members, Bolden has decided to run for re-election to keep her seat on the Michigan Supreme Court.

I abhor standardized tests for children because they aren't born with a fear of failure; they learn it. By placing undue pressure on these tests, we risk extinguishing their natural curiosity and love of learning. Let's nurture their wonder and resilience instead.
