Congressional Reform Act

1. Former members of congress should collect no salary after their term limit has expired.

2. Congress shall participate in the Social Security program equal every American. The Congressional retirement fund transfered to the Social Security program.

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

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

5. Congress loses its 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/women are void effective 1/1/12. The American people did not make this contract with Congress. Congressmen/women made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, and ours should serve their term(s), then go home and go back to work.

Don't you think it's time?
