Revolution
Taking back jobs and
taking back government are intertwined.
We do not need to march on Washington.
Instead, the call must start at the state level. Instead of marching one million men to
Washington, we need to march one million men to each of the state
capitals. That is where Washington took
our power, and that is where we must go to take it back. If the state governments are brought in line,
even congress cannot withstand the combined might of the republic.
Only as a last result
should the people pass the laws themselves.
The republic, made up of fifty states, must mandate the change. Then Congress must be given the chance to
enact the necessary reforms. If they
fail, they can be replaced by the republic, for without the states behind them,
Congress is nothing but a collection of aging, corrupt professional politicians
holding strings to a puppet which no longer exists.
They must give up their
prerogatives, they must give up their stolen monies, they must atone for their
violation of trust, and they must put in place an organized system for stepping
down, a system of extended terms and term limits and begin the process of
establishing a system which prevents failures of leadership of the type which
have brought this country to the brink of disaster.
Congressional Reform Act—Men
of the Guillotine
1) Term Limits: The following will apply after passage
by fifty percent of those entitled to vote:
A. Two five-year Senate and House terms
B. At the end of each term or when replaced, a
congressman is entitled to up to one year of paid consulting, exclusive of any
other employment, for his replacement unless or until his replacement rejects
his employment. During this time, the
consultant ex-congressman must pay his own expenses and has no access to the
capital except as provided by his replacement.
His pay is set by congress at no more than his salary when in office.
2. No Tenure/No Pension:
A Congressman collects up to one-year salary while
serving as consultant under 1(B) until terminated. After the end of that one year or upon
termination from that position by his replacement, he/she collects six months
of his salary during the time when he/she is resettling.
3. Congress (past, present and future) participates in
Social Security or other retirement held by the rest of the general
population. No federal retirement
applies, and all funds in the Congressional retirement funds move to the Social
Security system.
4. Congressional pay raises:
Congressional pay
will fall proportionately with GDP but rise only by constitutional amendment or
vote of 90 percent of each house and only for congressmen entering after the
vote, except that it will not fall below the lowest state congressional pay for
state congress nor be higher than the highest state congressional pay plus 10
percent.
6. Congress participates in the
same healthcare system as the American people and may pay for any other health
care from their salary.
7. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose
on the American people.
8. All contracts with past and present congressmen are
void.
9. Lobbyist:
No Congressman may act as a
lobbyist while receiving money under any provision of the law or for four years
thereafter. A congressman may run for congress again after a period off of
seven years unless they serve as a lobbyist, in which case they may run seven
years after they last serve
