Proposed 28’th Amendment To The United States Constitution:
Posted By thestatedtruth.com on January 18, 2011
An idea whose time has come! We would ordinarily say “send a letter to your congressman”, but they’re in a self serving mode with these entitlements, so let’s send this to everybody else that you can think of!
Many citizens have no idea that members of Congress retire with the same pay after only one term, or 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 was to exempt themselves from the Healthcare Reform … in all of its forms. That isn’t logical nor fair.
Governors of 35 states have already filed suit against the Federal Government for imposing unlawful burdens upon them. It only takes 38 (of the 50) States to convene a Constitutional Convention.
The 26’th 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, before e-mail, before 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.
