Want Changes?









Only members of Congress can make these changes as they are the lawmakers. I don’t believe Congress is interested in changing anything, do you?



• Limit Congress from serving more than two or three terms. Two terms is all the President gets.
• Stop Congress from voting for their own raises. How did that ever get started?
• Stop paying for lawmaker’s high-priced insurance premiums. After all, they are only part time employees. They might pass some law changes on the insurance companies if the had to find one.
• Stop paying lawmakers their full salary after serving just one term, or at retirement. We need to get rid of that pension plan; they’ve let other companies get rid of theirs. You were lucky to get 40 to 50 percent of your salary after working for 35 years, but they get 100%.
• Make Congress pay into the Social Security system. They make the laws for it. If they spent some of their own money, they might be interested in making it solvent.
• Stop handing our aid to the illegal aliens. If we did, then Medicaid and the food stamp program would have enough money to aid the aged and the poor.
• Secure our borders.
• Stop allowing babies born to illegal aliens in the United States automatic US citizenship.
• Stop the abuse of our benevolent welfare system. We feed children free meals three times a day until they are 17. Churches give away good, clean clothes. Companies buy and donate school supplies. Emergency rooms provide health care at taxpayer expense and the food stamp program is buying food at home. What are parents doing for their children?
• Have a computer program that cross checks Social Security numbers with fingerprints to stop fraud on many fronts. Use it on voter registration, too.
• Stop bailing out mortgage companies and banks that give loans to people that can’t afford them.
• Stop companies from paying CEO’s and other executives outrageous salaries and bonuses while doing away with worker’s pensions.
• Stop all unnecessary spending so we will have the money for our nation’s security and to help need and elderly Americans.
• Stop permitting anyone to have a photo with their face covered on driver’s licenses.

Only members of Congress can make these changes as they are the lawmakers. I don’t believe Congress is interested in changing anything, do you?

Repeal 17th Amendment , shifting some power back to the states.

At this point, I'm not sure any written law really matters. Of course, we the people, are expected to follow every word, but the legislators do whatever the hell they want, utterly without restriction or impediment.

All the well-crafted laws in the world won't matter a bit if the morals of the men they are designed to regulate are corrupt.

Change No. 1:

All bills presented by Congress for Presidential signature must be single topic bills limited to no more that 25 single sided, double spaced, 12 pt font pages which includes a roll call vote list of how each senator or congressman voted for that bill. No more large all encompassing omnibus bills. No riders, no pork, no earmarks.

You want an earmark or some pork? It has to pass on its own merits.
