28th Amendment Solution

Politicians hold their political positions in the safe confines of the capital, protected by different laws than the citizens.  They receive full pay retirement after serving one term and many unreasonable perks of office.

 

It just does not make any sense.

 

Fox news learned that Congressional family members are exempt from having to pay back student loans. This will get national attention if other news networks will broadcast it. 

 

Just where will all of it stop?  Here is the Constitutional answer: 38 states.

35 States file lawsuit against the Federal Government

Governors of 35 states have filed suit against the Federal Government for imposing unlawful burdens upon them. It only takes 38 (of the 50) States to convene a Constitutional Convention.

This is an idea that we must address.

For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of Congress.  

 

Many citizens had no idea that members of Congress could retire with the same pay after only one term, 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... 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. 

 

The 28th Amendment Solution

 

"Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States ."
