Common Sense Politics

The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3
months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it.
That was in 1971…before computers, before e-mail, before cell phones, etc.

Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took 1 year or less to
become the law of the land…all because of public pressure.

I’m asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty
people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise.

In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the
message. This is one idea that really should be passed around.

Congressional Reform Act of 2011

1. Term Limits.

12 years only, one of the possible options below..

A. Two Six-year Senate terms
B. Six Two-year House terms
C. One Six-year Senate term and three Two-Year House terms

2. No Tenure / No Pension.

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

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

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

4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans
do.

5. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay
will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

6. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the
same health care system as the American people.

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

8. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective
1/1/11.

The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen.
Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves .

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers
envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go
home and back to work.

If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take
three days for most people (in the U.S. ) to receive the message. Maybe it
is time .

THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!!!!! If you agree with the above, pass it on.

*Subject:* ACTION ALERT: Obama-Napolitano HIDING illegal aliens from us?

http://takeaction.banamnestynow.org/emk/link.php?M=2565228&N=1347&L=266&F=H

Dear Friend,

According to recent news reports, local *law enforcement *including border sheriffs in Arizona, ICE and US Border Patrol have been *ordered underreport or manipulate their statistics of illegal aliens entering the United States*, or arrested coming into the nation!

This allegation comes on the heels of an independent federal audit which found that less than 10% of the United States/Mexican border was “secure” despite repeated assertions by Secretary of Homeland (IN)Security that the border was more secure now under Obama’s watch than at any time in recent history.

According to FOX News, Cochise County (AZ) Sheriff Larry Dever warned that “ *a supervisor with the U.S. Border Patrol told him as recently as this month that the federal agency’s office on Arizona’s southern border was under orders to keep apprehension numbers down.*”

In other words, Barack Obama and Janet Napolitano can make the case that the border is secure if no illegal aliens are being arrested.

But does that mean no illegal aliens are coming across the border into the United States?

NO.

Quite the opposite, in fact, as word quickly spreads through border communities and pro-amnesty networks that the *Obama Administration* is doing everything it can to *subvert the law enforcement and border security process* – and to welcome into the U.S. as many illegal aliens as possible!

According to Dever, as reported by FOX News, the ICE supervisor complained of the latest Obama scheme: “*I had to go back to my guys and tell them not to catch anybody, that their job is to chase people away… They were not to catch anyone, arrest anyone*.”

If you already follow BAN AMNESTY NOW on Facebook, you may have read our recent posting of an article from Barack Obama’s speech last week in which he finally came clean on his true views on illegal immigration.

Mr. Obama believes: (1) coming to the United States illegally is not a crime; (2) coming to the United States illegally should not be punished; (3) if you stay illegally in the United States but commit no further crimes, you should be welcomed with open arms and given everyone opportunity afforded American citizens.

Mr. Obama didn’t dare mention the rule of law. Mr. Obama didn’t bother to think about the consequences of his actions – or the devastating impact his words are likely to have. And Mr. Obama certainly doesn’t care about anything beyond his own re-election, because that’s exactly what this is all about.

This so-called Commander In Chief is so popular already among the criminal element in America today that *THE SMOKING GUN has launched a page dedicated to the record numbers of criminals who were arrested WEARING their Barack Obama tee-shirts!*

Never before has a *U.S. president so brazenly endorsed lawless behavior*while opening catering to the criminal class.

And he won’t stop until he’s won exactly what he promised from the very beginning: AMNESTY for all criminal illegal aliens living in the United States today.

Please, help us *STOP the Obama assault on American communities, American values and the American way of life*. Please help us today before it is too late!

We are proud to be the fastest-growing anti-AMNESTY, anti-ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION organization in the nation and we need your help to keep spreading the message from coast to coast, to all 50 states! * Whether you can help today with a contribution of $25 or $2,500 * … or somewhere in between… please accept my proactive thanks for joining our efforts to rally a majority of Americans against a president so grotesquely determined to undermine the nation he was elected to defend.

Thank you again for your support – and for all you do to make our nation great!

For America,

Sean McCaffrey Founder/CEO

These are possibly the 5 best sentences you’ll ever read:

1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.

2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.

5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work, because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation.
