Do You Feel Screwed By Our Government?

Take a look at this and just remember elections in November 2010.

o U.S. House & Senate have voted themselves $4,700 and $5,300 raises.

o They voted to NOT give you a S.S. Cost of living raise in 2010 and 2011.

o Your Medicare premiums will go up $285.60 for the 2-years.

o You will not get the 3% COLA: $660/yr.

o Your total 2-yr loss and cost is -$1,600 or -$3,200 for husband and wife.

o Over these same two years each Congress person will get $10,000.

7. Do you feel SCREWED?

8. Will they have your cost of drugs - doctor fees - local taxes - food, etc., increase?

9. NO WAY. Congress received a raise and has better health and retirement benefits than you or I.

1. Why should they care about you?

2. You never did anything about it in the past.

3. You obviously are too stupid or don't care.

4. Do you really think that Nancy, Harry, Chris, Charlie, Barnie, et al, care about you?

Send the message to these individuals -- YOU'RE FIRED!

In 2010 you will have a chance to get rid of the sitting Congress: up to 1/3 of the Senate and 100% of the House!

Make sure you're still mad in November 2010 and remind their replacements not to screw-up.

It is OK to forward this to your sphere of influence if you are finally tired of the abuse. Maybe it's time for Amendment 28 to the Constitution.

The 28th Amendment will read as follows:

"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."

Let's get this passed around, folks - these people in Washington have brought this upon themselves! It's time for retribution. Let's take back America.

If you don't forward this to all your friends you're just part of the problem of national apathy.

    I agree our gov't is screwed up: isn't that why Repubs have been voted in? to freshen up the Mess? They did a great job, did no longer they? not extra government, yet extra to blame government that handle the desires of the guy, and not the greed of the a million% represented with the aid of the Repubs. Are you extra useful off in the present day than 8 yrs in the past?
