Rani Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 The following is being sent around. Each person is being asked to send it to 20 people. Works for me. If it works for you, cut and paste it into an email and send to your own 20 people. 'Rani [font=serif][size=3][center][center][b][color=navy][size=5]This will take less than thirty seconds to read.

Many citizens had no idea that members of Congress could retire with the same pay after only one term, that they didn't pay into Social Security, 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 that is being considered...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 a good way to do that. It is an idea whose time has come.[/size] [font=sans-serif][size=2] [/size][/font] [size=5]Have each person contact a [u]minimum[/u] of Twenty people on their Address list, in turn ask each of those to do likewise.[/size] [size=5] [/size] [size=5]In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message.

It's about prohibiting them from doing as they please to the public while exempting themselves. I can't believe we all didn't think of this sooner.

Chreees Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Thanks! You know my grandpa actually believes Obama is solely responsible for starting the bailouts? I KNEW I remembered Bush starting it before leaving office, and sure enough after I researched it I was right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
