The Retirement fund for legislators, an email sent to me

WHY WAIT UNTIL 2008? THERE IS AN ELECTION IN 2006. I HEREWITH FIRMLY STATE THAT I WILL NOT VOTE FOR ANY POLITICIAN, REGARDLESS OF THE OTHER ISSUES, IF HE DOES NOT SPONSOR AND SUPPORT THE FOLLOWING LEGISLATION. THAT INCLUDES EVERYONE STANDING FOR ELECTION IN 2006.

LET US SHOW OUR LEADERS IN WASHINGTON "PEOPLE POWER" AND THE POWER OF THE INTERNET. LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE WITH ME ON THIS BY FORWARDING TO EVERYONE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK.

IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU ARE REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT KEEP IT GOING!!!
2008 Election Issue!!
GET A BILL STARTED TO PLACE ALL POLITICIANS ON SOC. SECURITY
This must be an issue in "2008"
SOCIAL SECURITY:
(This is worth reading. It is short and to the point.)
Perhaps we are asking the wrong questions during election years.

Our Senators and Congresswomen do not pay into Social Security and, of course, they do not collect from it.
You see, Social Security benefits were not suitable for persons of their rare elevation in society.They felt they should have a special plan for themselves. So, many years ago they voted in their own benefit plan.
In more recent years, no congressperson has felt the need to change it. After all, it is a great plan. For all practical purposes their plan works like this:

When they retire, they continue to draw the same pay until they die.
Except it may increase from time to time for cost of living adjustments..
For example, Senator Byrd and Congressman White and their wives may expect to draw $7,800,000.00 (that's Seven Million, Eight-Hundred Thousand Dollars), with their wives drawing $275,000.00 during the last years of their lives.
This is calculated on an average life span for each of those two Dignitaries.Younger Dignitaries who retire at an early age, will receive much more during the rest of their lives.
Their cost for this excellent plan is $0.00. NADA....ZILCH...
This little perk they voted for themselves is free to them. You and I pick up the tab for this plan. The funds for this fine retirement plan come directly from the General Funds;
"OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK"!
From our own Social Security Plan, which you and I pay (or have paid) into,-every payday until we retire (which amount is matched by our employer)-we can expect to get an average of $1,000 per month after retirement.
Or, in other words, we would have to collect our average of $1,000 monthlybenefits for 68 years and one (1) month to equal Senator Bill Bradley's benefits! Social Security could be very good if only one small change were made.

That change would be to:
Jerk the Golden Fleece Retirement Plan from under the Senators and Congressmen. Put them into the Social Security plan with the rest of us then sit back....and see how fast they would fix it.
If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe good changes will evolve.
How many people CAN you send this to?

Better yet.....

How many people WILL you send this to ?

Something's rotten in Denmark

Hey , a lot is rotten in Denmark. Mobil oil posted the best profits EVER, while we paid over $3 at the pump..It's horrific. We sign NAFTA, CAFTA and what other free trade agreements, and send jobs overseas, without taxing the corporations for bringing the goods in...NEGATIVE BALANCE OF TRADE...Who's gonna stop that??? Until we make advertising air time available free to all potential legislators...and make private campaign advertising illegal..when normal working people, not just millionaires, can run for office, we'll be ruled by people who have no idea how tough it's becoming.... I recently recieved an email about the retirement plan that US Senators and Congressmen voted for themselves......Legislators hould get social security checks based on income, like the rest of us. And maybe use KMart's retirement plan, as a blueprint for how they get paid....Even better, try my Dad's retirement plan..go to work for years for a company who conveniently goes bankrupt, so that you don't have to get a pension..Kerry and Rangel should suggest this change to their retirement deal...Especially now, when we're going further into debt to China, Saudi Arabia, and are leaving our grandchildren the bill for this Iraq war.

The only thing to fear is Fear itself...FDR

My son reminded me that long ago, I didn't want him to join the local boyscout troop, because I didn't like the look of the local "troopmeister", and figured he might be a pederast. He was pasty and fat and dopey and creepy, and I just didn't like his vibe. I didn't exactly say that my son couldn't join, but when son of mine showed tepid enthusiasm, I didn't push him to join up. J-man, now a highschooler and wise beyond measure (according to him) scoffed at me, for my fear. He didn't remember, but I had been right once about that stuff. I was offered a scholarship for my son to a small christian school and I said no. The school was kind of far away, so that was one of the considerations, but I knew the headmaster, and I just didn't get a good vibe. As an artist knocking around NYC and Berlin and SF with all sorts of straights, gays and bi's, I think I began to read people.
I'd been around in the days when my gay friends would be vying for the cutist teenager..but I didn't know if this dude was into littler people than that. J'man was way younger than that..but sure enough..aforementioned headmaster was busted exposing himself in a YMCA locker room to teens...Maybe I'm a chicken, but I do know chicken hawks....
Speaking of fear..I've been hesitant to email, to sign my name to petitions, due to the nature of these neocons.Wilhelm Reich outlined the character type in the Mass Psychology of Fascism..cruel, perverse, revengeful, lying, haughty..so I know what's out there.. I do get searched when getting on planes, perhaps my id is flagged. I've heard of leftist activists being given "no fly" status..you know, the really tough types..Ie Quaker Grandmothers..But despite the possible harrassment, There is no time to be timid. Plamegate is the tip of the iceberg. 1) We need an investigation to find out who was responsible for treasonously "outing" a CIA spy.
2) We need to look to the PNAC's plan for US Global domination in the 21st Century, to see the premeditation on the part of NeoCons, to get into the Middle East.
3)We also need to have an investigation into voting machine tampering in the 2000 and 2004 elections.
4) We need to know how much Stock Donald Rumsfeld owns in the company that is to get the contract to supply the USA with Avian Flu vaccine. Nuff said.
