Congressional Reform Act of 2011
A. Two Six-year Senate terms
B. Six Two-year House terms
C. One Six-year Senate term and three Two-Year House terms
2. No Tenure / No Pension A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.
3. Congress (past, present & future) participates 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.
4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.
5. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
6. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.
7. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.
8. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 1/1/11.
Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career.. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.

This country is supposed to be about "WE the People". So Us, being the people need to put a stop to the BS so everybody gets treated fairly and equally. Open for discussion.RB
I like that list and they should have to put in a 40 hour week, campaigning should be done after they get off work. AND I would like to see us go to a campaign TIME LIMIT. No more than six months.
I'm just so disgusted with the internal workings of our country. I'm not impressed with how 'we' operate.
