My Favorite things about Angelfire.
Can you believe this???
This picture is worth a trillion $$
House Minority Leader Lawrence F. Cafero Jr., R-Norwalk, pictured standing, far right, speaks while colleagues
Rep. Barbara Lambert, D-Milford and Rep. Jack F. Hennessy, D-Bridgeport, play solitaire
Monday night as the House convened to vote on a new budget. (AP)
The guy sitting in the row in front of these two...he's on Facebook,
and the guy behind Hennessy is checking out the baseball scores.
These are the folks that couldn't get the budget out by Oct. 1,
and are about to control your health care, cap and trade, and the list goes on and on….
Should we buy them larger screen computers - or - a ticket home, permanently?
This is one of their 3-DAY WORK WEEKS that we all pay for (salary is about $179,000 per year).
No one has been able to explain to me why young men and women
serve in the U.S. Military for 20 years, risking their lives protecting
freedom, and only get 50% of their pay. While Politicians hold their
political positions in the safe confines of the capital, protected by
these same men and women, and receive full pay retirement after
serving one term.
It just does not make any sense.
Monday (May 9, 2011) on Fox news they learned that the staffers of Congress
family members are exempt from having to pay back student loans.
This will get national attention if other news networks will broadcast
it. When you add this to the below, just where will all of it stop?
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 will take less than thirty seconds to read. If you agree, please pass it on.
This is an idea that we should 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 Health care 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.
If each person that receives this will forward it on to 20 people, 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."
You are one of my 20+
