Amendment 28 Proposed by Citizens of America

Making the rounds these days is a recommended Constitutional Amendment. While many have reached the point of desiring Congressional Term Limits, the following is an amendment a majority of Americans should be able to quickly promote. Doubt if those rascals in Congress would agree.

Thomas Jefferson said, "When the people fear their government there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty" It is time for the government to start fearing to at least live like we do.

Proposed Amendment 28 for your Consideration and Comment:
Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators or Representatives, and Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States.

As one reader said, "Let's get this passed around, folks - these clowns in Washington have brought this upon themselves!" Considered the phrase "Equal pay for equal work." Based on past non-quality performance and failure to follow the Constitution; most of the members of Congress owe the American Citizen's a huge refund of their pay. While we will never see such a refund, it is worthy to consider the above proposed amendment.

A few of our ancestors understood Congress very well and for some reason we have failed to heed their words of wisdom:
