It's Time to Take Control Back

Suzi’s Secrets # 13: 

Listen, our country’s spending has been out of control for decades. But it doesn’t take slashing research, grants, the education department (though it has it’s own changes needed) and sending us back 50-100 years of equality to rectify the budget.

I believe it was Warren Buffett, "I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," who told CNBC. "You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election. 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, e-mail, 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 am 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 2025

1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.

2. 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. It may not be used for any other purpose.

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

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

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

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

7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 7/1/25. 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 terms), 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. This CTA went around in 2019, it’s time to send it around again and make some changes. 

It’s time to tell the current administration that we’re not happy with them cutting 1000’s of jobs, sending us back 100 years and cutting funding that would make our country more advanced.

I think the current branches of the administration are scared of our leader.

It’s time to tell the current administration they should be afraid of the people, not those in office.

It’s time to take back control over our country. It’s supposed to be a government By the People!
