28th Amendment
an Idea whose Time has Come

[Comment:  The self-serving betrayal of Congress against the people they are to serve is a sign of the tragic fall of moral standards in America and all over the West.  Either we regain our moral consensus, or we will die as a free people.  The only way to regain our moral consensus is to first have a spiritual consensus under God and in the Biblical worldview.    E. Fox]

For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of Congress.  Many citizens had no idea that members of Congress could retire with the same pay after only one term, that they didn't pay into Social Security, that they specifically exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed (such as being exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment) while ordinary citizens must live under those laws.  The latest is to exempt themselves from the Healthcare Reform that is being considered...in all of its forms.  Somehow, that doesn't seem logical.  We do not have an elite that is above the law.  I truly don't care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent or whatever.  The self-serving must stop.  This is a good way to do that.  It is an idea whose time has come.
  
         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 ".
