coffee 20-congressional reform-overthrowing a congress incapable of handling the fiscal cliff (not government) using the states

As I mentioned, here is the information on how to overthrow congress (not the government) on this, my 40th day without coffee or tea.  This is a simple matter, described in a mere three paragraphs.  I have copied the CRA below.  More information can be found in "China's Weaponized Economy" available on Amazon

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
