Proposed 28th amendment - with TruthorFiction Update

h/t RW

Ed Note:  Though this has some obvious flaws, I hope it will get people thinkin' and talkin' and ready to DO SOMETHING.  Personally, I don't think we can trust congress - i.e. the  notorious  Gang of 8 and the like - to do anything that is not self-serving for them, not rather than for the nation.

A Proposed 28th Amendment That Says Congress Will Make No Laws That Does Not Apply To Them- Grass Roots Movement!

Summary of the eRumor:
This is a forwarded email about a proposed 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution that says "Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States."

 

The Truth:
There is no official campaign for a 28th amendment beyond its being proposed in this forwarded email.

Also, members of Congress,  Presidents and other elected leaders are not above the law.

The email began by stating that members of Congress do not pay into Social Security. That is an email hoax and TruthOrFiction.com has findings posted.  Click for Findings.

The email also said that Congressional members would exempt themselves from the proposed healthcare reform package.  Members of Congress and most government full time workers already have a healthcare package. The proposed healthcare reform began with the purpose of offering healthcare for those not currently covered.

28th amendment   

   YES I do feel strongly about this... (2 Pictures)
I challenge you to read this and NOT have the desire to pass it on.

No one has been able to explain to me why young men and women serve in the U.S. Military for 20 years, risking their lives protecting freedom, and only get 50% of their pay on retirement.  While Politicians hold their political positions in the safe confines of the capital, protected by these same men and women, and receive full-pay
Retirement after serving one term. It just does not make any sense.

If each person who receives this will forward it on to 20 people, in three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one proposal that really should be passed around.

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  ."
You are one of my 20 Plus.  I passed it on, will you?
"If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice," and these brave soldiers have given you that right!
