Government for imposing unlawful burdens upon them. It only takes 38 (of the 50)
States to convene a Constitutional Convention.
This will take less than a few minuitesto read. If you agree, please
pass it on.
An idea whose time has come!
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 was 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. A Constitutional Convention - this is a
good way to do that. It is an idea whose time has come. And, with the
advent of modern communication, the process can be moved along with incredible
speed. There is talk out there that the "government" doesn't care what the
people think. That is irrelevant. It is incumbent on the population to
address elected officials to the wrongs afflicted against the populace...you
and me. Think about this...
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, before e-mail, before 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'm 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 proposal that really should be passed around.
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/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 ."
