Congressional Reform Act

Regardless of your political leanings, I hope you will consider this message and pass it around, if for no other reason than to generate conversation about this issue.  This may be someone's pipe dream for all I know, but we can dream, can't we?

 Trump Rule’s Congressional Reform Act Of 2018:


1 – No Tenure / No Pension.  A Congressman / Woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they’re out of office.  No more perks go with them.

2 – Congressman / Woman ( past, present & future ) participate 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 purposes.

3 – Congress must purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.

4 – Congress will no longer vote themselves pay increases. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

5 – Congress loses their current Healthcare System and participates in the same Healthcare System as the American people.

6 – Congress must equally abide by all the laws, they impose on the American people.

7 – All contracts with past and present Congressman / Woman are void.  The American people did not make these contracts with Congressmen / Women.  The Congress made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators should serve their terms, then go home and go back to work, and not get all kinds of freebies!  They should live under the same laws we all live under for a change.

If each person contacts a minimum of 20 people, It will only take 3 days for most people in the United States to receive this message. It’s time for us to take action.
