A friend sent this to me.  I can’t think of a reason to disagree can you?  It is short and to the point!

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 can join together to reform Congress – the entity that “represents” US the citizens of the USA.

Congressional Reform Act of 2010

1. Term Limits: 12 years only, one of the possible options below.

A. Two Six year Senate terms
B. Six Two year House terms
C. One Six year Senate term and three Two Year House terms

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career.  The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and back to work.

2.  No Tenure / No Pension:

A congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.
Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career.  The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and back to work.

3.  Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security:

All funds in the Congressional retirement fund moves to the Social Security system immediately.

All future funds flow into the Social Security system, Congress participates with the American people.
Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career.  The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, server your term(s), then go home and back to work.

4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan just as all Americans.
Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career.  The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and back to work.

5. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise.  Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career.  The Founding Fathers envisioned  citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and back to work.

6. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.
Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career.  The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and back to work.

7. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.
Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career.  The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and back to work.

8. All contracts with past and present congressmen are void effective 1/1/2011.
The American people did not make this contract with congressmen, congressmen made all these contracts for themselves.

For the last time, serving in Congress is an honor, not a career.  The Founding Fathers envisioned  citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and back to work.

Elin

The real victim

Two points on two things in the news because it has to be said and I have nothing else to say.

Screw all those ‘victims’ in Tiger’s path(oh yeah, that’s right…they already have been) who want an apology for Tiger’s behavior. If anybody should be getting an apology, it’s Elin from THEM.  She is the victim. They knew who he was.  If they thought that he was going to be any more loyal to them, then they deserved what they got.  Did Tiger use a condom? Maybe. If he did, then at least I know that they were not just trying to have Tiger’s next kid and live off the child support. Enough said.

Except that if Brett needs any help consoling Ms Elin, he can call me…

Although Joe Stack went to extraordinary measures to get away from his IRS problems, I can see where his frustration came from.

“I have had all I can stand,” he wrote in the note, dated Thursday, adding: “I choose not to keep looking over my shoulder at `big brother’ while he strips my carcass.”

But now what? He left a wife and kid behind.  He just left them with his IRS probs, did he not? Kinda selfish, I think. And who is going to end up paying for that building?

Jesus was gay? Really? So, Elton, I must ask you: A straight guy can’t be a compassionate and super-intelligent  who understood human problems?

Yes, that’s right, I said it. Tyranny has reared its ugly head today in our Supreme Court.

“Reporting from Washington – The Supreme Court today overturned a century-old restriction on corporations using their money to sway federal elections and ruled that companies have a free-speech right to spend as much as they wish to persuade voters to elect or defeat candidates for Congress and the White House.” stated in the LA Times today, January 21.

Mark this infamous day in history. The Supreme Court has struck down a law that has been in place/enforced since 1907. A law to help keep the balance between Corporations and the common people.

So this is the kind of thing that EVERYONE needs to know about. Because it can lead to baaaad things.

It happened first this morning. I had not read it anywhere till 5PM this afternoon. Maybe that is my bad. But I want to make sure that EVERYBODY IS AWARE.

The fact that it happened ALMOST EXACTLY a year into Obama’s presidency? Hmmmm….

For some reason I love this…

A friend sent me this video today. It’s awesome.  It epitomizes what I want to be.  I feel I am pretty damn close to that now.

I also read a quote today.  We all have two choices;We can make a living or we can design a life.

Damn, that’s good. Why didn’t I think of that sooner?!?

So if you read my last post, you know that I am trying. You can get involved in Magic Power Coffee or not, that is up to you. But I am required by law to tell everyone.

All I know is that I am tired. Tired of making. I need to start designing.

In my search for the eternal natural buzz, I have run across a new glorious hybrid of things vital. This blend in part consists of one of my favorite things…coffee.

I would be remiss if I did not tell people about it.

Someone addressed the idea that coffee-with all its caffeinated charisma-can and has  become an aphrodisiac. In both men and women.

Add a few more ingredients of this planet to the coffee bean and you have…

Magic Power Coffee. It has been described as Starbuck’s with a dollop of Viagra. And it has been proven to please the ladies, too.

I have tried it, I have enjoyed it. And like that guy who bought Remington Shavers, I liked it so much, I bought the company.

Well, no. Small embellishment.  But I am using and selling Magic Power Coffee and spreading the word. Because it works.

OK, I know what you are thinking…it’s an MLM or pyramid, right? Yes, it is. There is absolutely no reason to pull your leg. If you are afraid of MLMs, then this is not for you. But I do urge you to try Magic Power Coffee and see if you like it. I will let you know, that a 2 pack with shipping and handling cost me less than $20. And it was worth it.

If you’re not afraid of MLMs, then come on in. Because one of the greatest things about Magic Power Coffee is that it just came out—September 15, 2009.  So this is still an opportunity in its infancy. If you know how an MLM works and can appreciate word-of-mouth marketing, then you know that this is truly the time to get in.

So now you know what I have been doing. I could use more people in my new quest, but you should try it first. That’s what I did. If you know someone who is unemployed and needs a job/opportunity, then send them my way.

I am looking for an edge.  I found it. And I’ll share. It’s enhancing my bank account and my love life.
