The "If Things Went Your Way" Game

Hey, I'm on board with you on that Brainy, even if you didn't quite mean it how I am taking it. Although, truth be told, I have less of a problem with that then the bailouts.

I think everyone should have that choice.

Meh, one could assume the outcome would be what you point to in history however life is different. I don't think we need any government, anywhere, at all...
If you all thought like me it would work.

An idea whose time has come
For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of Congress.
Many citizens have no idea that members of Congress can 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.
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 all the citizens of the United States."
Now, what are we going to do about it? Read and forget or work for reform? Send it to EVERY Congressman, Representative, Governor, the White House!!!!! Pass it around!!! Make calls, send fax's!
