Get Senators Franken or Klobuchar to introduce this bill in the US Senate and John Kline or Keith Ellison to introduce a similar bill in the US House. These elected citizens could become American heroes, begin term limits, keep career politicians out of Congress and save money.
“The Congressional Reform Act of 2011″. It would contain eight provisions, all of which would probably be strongly endorsed by those who drafted the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
The U.S.Congress has the lowest approval of any entity in Government, now is the time when Americans will join together to reform Congress – the ‘millions of dollars’ entity, that represents us. It needs reform.
“The Congressional Reform Act of 2011″
