This is what Mark Levin has been talking about.
A constitutional convention of the states to get back to the laws of the Constitution.
This will take less than thirty seconds to read. If you agree, please pass it on. I believe this is an idea that we should address.
35 STATES SO FAR.....IT'S GROWING
One message to forward!
Governors of 35 states have filed suit against the Federal Government for imposing unlawful burdens upon them. It only takes 38 (of the 50) States to convene a Constitutional Convention.
For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of Congress. Their latest stunt is to exempt themselves from the Healthcare Reform that they passed ... in all of its forms. Somehow, that doesn't seem logical. We do not have an elite ruling class that is above the law. I truly don't care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent or whatever. The self-serving must stop.
If each person that receives this will forward it on to 15 people, in three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one proposal that really should be passed around.
Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution: "Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators, Representatives of Congress; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States ..."

"Are members of Congress exempt from the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act health care legislation?
No. One of the provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (commonly known as "Obamacare") passed by Congress is a requirement that lawmakers give up the insurance coverage previously provided to them through the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program and instead purchase health insurance through the online exchanges that the law created:
(D) MEMBERS OF CONGRESS IN THE EXCHANGE.
(i) REQUIREMENT — Notwithstanding any other provision of law, after the effective date of this subtitle, the only health plans that the Federal Government may make available to Members of Congress and congressional staff with respect to their service as a Member of Congress or congressional staff shall be health plans that are:
(I) created under this Act (or an amendment made by this Act); or
(II) offered through an Exchange established under this Act (or an amendment made by this Act).
An August 2013 ruling by the federal Office of Personnel Management (OPM) was widely and inaccurately reported as exempting members of Congress from the requirement that they give up their Federal Employees Health Benefits Program coverage and instead purchase health insurance through online exchanges. That reporting was incorrect: Lawmakers are still required to purchase health insurance through government-created exchanges; what the OPM's ruling actually declared was that members of Congress and their staffs did not have to give up the federal subsidies covering part of the costs of their insurance premiums which they had previously been receiving (and which are afforded to millions of other federal workers)."
"We do not have an elite ruling class that is above the law."
We sure as hell do, Rightwing dad. Who do you think the Citizens United vs FEC ruling is for?
We need to stop complaining & do something about it.
Such as? Wake me when rightwingers, especially in these RWFs, ever ever stop complaining. It's their life-blood and reason for living - to whine, whinge, complain, vetch, victimize & bitch.
Gruaud beat me to it. The right in all their faux populism fail the gaudily trimmed, brightly painted 3-ton elephant in the room: Corporate influence of every branch of government.
True to form, this RWF has all the normal bells & whistles:
- Outrageously bright and large font: Check
- Typical chain-letter "pass it on or else" tone: Check
- The bogus attempt at appearing non-partisan; "I don't care if you're a democrat or a republican..." line: Check
- The rallying around a central figures that are well known certified loons outside the RW bubble: Check-ola!
Correction above; should read:
...fail TO SEE the gaudily trimmed, brightly painted 3-ton elephant in the room.....
