Political Brat

It’s becoming more obvious each day that we need to find a way to get this country back in balance. Today we have a chance to make a statement to our ‘elite’ group of leaders in government by voting balance into the U.S. Senate. Hopefully the people of Massachusetts will speak in a truthful and informed manner and bring the political landscape back into balance. We need to ask the following questions of our leaders: (and plenty more)

1. Is there a need for professional career politicians in the U.S. Government?
2. I think you agree term limits would make sense right?
3. Do congressional representatives represent the people or special interests? (as in “We the People)
4. Why do congress and the president have lavish pensions and health care plans when the people suffer?
5. Would a flat tax make a lot of sense in terms of offering an increase in U.S. productivity?
6. Are the public schools performing better today since the DOE, (department of education), was formed?
7. Why are we bleeding money to the rest of the world through Oil and Trade imbalance? (do we have a plan)

Let’s stand up and speak without fear in this country and make the changes to slow government growth that doesn’t add up with positive results anymore. Politicians need to have more than popularity to lead this great country. We need common sense approaches that make the tough decisions to bring this country back to the people.

1. Term Limits: 2 years only.

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term, then go home and back to work.

2. No Tenure. No Pension.

A congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term, then go home and back to work.

3. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security.

All funds in the Congressional retirement fund moves to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, Congress participates equally with the American people in the Social Security system.

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, server your term, then go home and back to work.

4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan just like all Americans.

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term, then go home and back to work.

5. Congress will no longer be able to vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will never be raised unless done so by ‘we the people’ at the voting booth.

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term, then go home and back to work.

6. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as other Americans.

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term, then go home and back to work.

7. Congress must equally abide in and by all laws they impose on the States and the American people.

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term, then go home and back to work.

8. All contracts with past and present congressmen are void effective 1/1/10.

The American people did not make this contract with congressmen, congressmen made all these contracts for themselves…
