THIS
IS HOW YOU FIX
CONGRESS!!!!!

The following was sent to me by another friend, and I totally agree with
the content. Hope you do too.

I am
sending this to virtually everybody on my e-mail
list and that includes conservatives, liberals,
and everybody in between. Even though we
disagree on a number of issues, I count all of
you as friends. My friend and neighbor
wants to promote a "Congressional Reform
Act of 2009". It would contain eight
provisions, all of which would probably be
strongly endorsed by those who drafted the
Constitution and the Bill of
Rights. Friends,
please send me your recommendations on how this
bill can be
improved.

I know
many of you will say, "this is
impossible". Let me remind you, Congress
has the lowest approval of any entity in
Government, now is the time when Americans will
join together to reform Congress - the entity
that represents
us.

We need to
get a Senator to introduce this bill in the US
Senate and a Representative to introduce a
similar bill in the US House. These people
will become American hero's.. Please send
any ideas on how to get this
done.

Thanks,

A Fellow
American
