1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.
2. 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. It may not be used for any other purpose.
3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.
4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
5. Congress loses their 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 are void effective 1/1/12. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen. 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. If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S. ) to receive the message. Maybe it is time.
THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!!!!!*

Considering that pretty much all of this has already happened, I guess Congress is fixed. Congress participates in Social Security, their retirement plan is the same as any other federal employees, starting in 2014 they have to get their health insurance through health insurance exchanges (which is the same as everyone else's requirement), and since 1995 Congress abides by the same laws as everyone else.
An e-mail forward isn't the most reliable source of information, you know.
To poster of 2:47 p.m.:
Are you so blind or so much of a brainless POS that you can;t understand or see whats going on?
I guess you didn't even read the post before this one that says judges or being bought????????
NO of course not, its to easy to just say crap out of yuor mouth instead of doing research...
In fact if the congressmen were all in the SSA then they sure as heck wouldn't have raided it, nor would they propose it to have cuts... Nor would they propose a age limit raise to 75 before you can retire... It is also proven fact that congress IS NOT ON THE SAME HEALTH CARE SYSTEM, PERIOD!!!... CONGRESS DOES NOT FOLLOW LAWS because if they did, then people all over the nation would be in jail and the fed reserve would be held accountable for printing money when it says directly in the constitution that "NO BODY OF GOVT CAN PRINT MONEY" PERIOD!!!
Again its just another loser talking, the talk before doing actual reading... You have no say get lost until you can get your facts...
To 3:14, obviously you have access to the Internet. Please do some research before you post anything as idiotic as what you just did. Let me just give you a little dose of research to help you on your way.
With the passage of Public Law 98-21 in 1982, Congress does participate in Social Security just like everyone else. It's a fact.
In 1995, one of the first acts of the Gingrich Congress was to pass the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995, which applied a variety of laws to Congress from which it had been previously exempt. That, too, is a fact.
Section 1312 of the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) mandates that members of Congress and congressional employees purchase their insurance through health insurance exchanges starting in 2014. Right now, members of Congress get their insurance through the Federal Employee Health Benefits Program, which is the same insurance program as other federal employees. These, too, are facts.
You can look all of these things up using the Google machine. It's a far more reliable resource than that e-mail forward you read one time or your drunk uncle Bubba who somehow knows the answer to every question even though he never finished 6th grade. Knowledge shall set you free, my friend, even though your chains of ignorance are clearly very heavy.
Yeah 3:49-you're the brain surgeon who believes everything he reads on the internet. Keep on swallowing all the communist propoganda. Ignorrance is bliss, so you should be very happy.
OK, 10:13, perhaps you, in your ample wisdom, could explain your interpretation of Section 1013 of the ACA, since you don't seem to agree with mine. And then when you're done you can expound on the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995, since you don't seem to think it accomplishes what the plain text of the legislation says it does. And when you are done there, tackle PL 98-21 and let us know what you think it says.
And then, when you are done, you might take a remedial spelling course, since you don't even know how to spell the word "propaganda" or, in a delicious irony, the word "ignorance."
