Lets Choke the Golden Fleece in DC Finally


I received this note tonite from a dear friend, and decided to forgo todays prepared post in favor of this very powerful One To One Message of Unity.

do you realize that some of our legislators work as little as 45 days total for the year, and claim upwards of a quarter of a Million Dollars Yearly Until They DIE.  this happens after they serve just ONE TERM.

I invite you to join me in a mass repost of this message - with an email to your legislators. let them know that you think that it's time they addressed The Real Golden Fleece.



Let them know that You Want Them to Stand Up and Do The Right Thing NOW.
No More Delays on the Righting of this wrong. BadGals and Our Entire Posse' will be reposting this message on our blogs over the course of this week; to let everyone know where we stand on the Real Fleecing Of America.




How Can Legislators Ask Us for More when They are Taking More From Us ?










LET US SHOW OUR LEADERS IN WASHINGTON "PEOPLE POWER" AND THE POWER OF THE INTERNET. PLEASE FORWARD TO ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS.

IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU ARE REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT!

KEEP IT GOING!!!!

Propose this in 2009:

START A BILL TO PLACE ALL POLITICIANS ON SOCIAL SECURITY

------------ --------- --------- ----

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 congress person 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. ....
ALSO YOU ONLY HAVE TO BE ELECTED FOR ONE TERM TO COLLECT THIS BENEFIT.


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 monthly benefits 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 ?

RE, this is so informative. I certainly intend to pass it along to family and friends.

Make these folks pay into Social Security just as we do. How many of them do not even show up for a vote? And still...many of them rant about not only our deficit (which could have been a Depression, no thanks to them) and the need for everyone to have equality of health care. Maybe you and Politicus should run for Office.

Jeez, Re, is all you can do is complain?

Remember these silly words:

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the moneys gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

How is the NOMF™ supposed to operate efficiently, keeping the malls open, and protecting brain dead idiots from imaginary manufactured terrorists if we can't keep our leaders living in the manner to which we have let them become accustomed?

The Italians had a good idea following WWII. I wouldn't seeing a bunch of these pontificating pathetic porkers hanging from light poles. We can harvest their fat to burn in tiki candles.

But lacking that commitment to cleaning shit up, why should anybody bother. Motherfuckers just gonna keep on shitting in eveyrbody else's nest and expecting praise and respect for it.

That's the American Way.
