THIS IS HOW TO REPAIR CONGRESS!!!

A friend sent this along to me.

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..

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..


Thanks,

A Fellow American
