Outrageous pensions

[ecduzitgood]

I received an email that disturbed me and need to pass it along

Justice??
No one has been able to explain to me why young Men and women who serve in the U.S. Military for 20 years, risking their lives protecting freedom, only get 50% of their pay at retirement.

While Politicians who hold their political positions in the safe confines of the capital, protected by these same men and women, receive partial (correction instead of full as the original email stated) pension (original email stated pay which is incorrect) after serving just one term. It just doesn't make any sense.

Monday on Fox news they learned that the staffers of Congress family members are exempt from having to pay back a large portion ($40k-$60k) of student loans. This will get national attention if other news networks will broadcast it. When you add all of this to the below, just where will it stop?

35 States file lawsuit against the Federal government.

Governors of 35 states have filed suit against the Federal Government for imposing unlawful burdens upon them. It only takes 38 (of the 50) States to convene a Constitutional Convention.

For to long we have been complacent about the workings of Congress. Many citizens had no idea that members of Congress could specifically exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed, while ordinary citizens must live under those laws. The latest is to exempt themselves from they Health care reform...in all it's 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.
Proposed 28th amendment to the United States Constitution:
"Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States."

If you think this should be read by other please comment in order for this to return to the top of the post so it doesn't just disappear below new post. Please Bump!
