You want CHANGE? Try this! (1) Limit Congress from serving more than two terms. That is all that presidents are allowed. (2) Stop Congress from voting for their own raises. How did that ever get started? (3) Stop paying for lawmakers high-priced insurance premiums. After all, they are only part-time employees. They might pass some law changes on insurance companies, if they had to find one. (4) Stop paying lawmakers their full salaries after serving just one term, or at retirement. We need to get rid of that pension plan; they’ve let other companies get rid of theirs. You were lucky to get 40 to 50 percent of your salary after working somewhere 35 years, but they get 100 percent. (5) Make Congress pay into the Social Security system. They make laws for it. If they spent some of their own money, they might be interested in making it solvent. (6) Stop handing out aid to illegal aliens. If we did, then Medicaid and the food stamp program would have enough money to aid the aged and the poor. (7) Secure our borders. (8) Stop allowing babies born to illegal aliens in the United States automatic U.S. citizenship. (9) Stop the abuse of our benevolent welfare system. We feed children free meals three times a day until they are seventeen. Churches give away good, clean clothes. Companies buy and donate school supplies. Emergency rooms provide health care at taxpayers expense and the food stamp program is buying food at home. What are parents doing for their children? (10) Have a computer program that cross checks Social Security numbers with fingerprints to stop fraud on many fronts. Use it on voter registration, too. (11) Stop bailing out mortgage companies and banks that give loans to people that cannot afford them. (12) Stop companies from paying CEOs and other executives outrageous salaries and bonuses while doing away with workers’ pensions. (13) Stop all unnecessary spending so we will have the money for our nation’s security, and to help needy and elderly Americans. (14) Stop permitting anyone to have a photo with their face covered on driver’s licenses. (15) The President will not be able to make these changes. Only members of Congress can do this, they are the lawmakers. I don’t believe Congress is interested in changing anything, do you? Written by: Norma White Amarillo, Texas

NEW PREAMBLE TO THE CONSTITUTION This is probably one of the better e-mails I've seen in a long, long time. The following has been attributed to State Representative Mitchell Kaye from GA. This guy should run for President one day... "We the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid more riots, keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the blessings of debt-free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-great-grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden, delusional, and other liberal bed-wetters. We hold these truths to be self evident: that a whole lot of people are confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim they require a Bill of NON-Rights." ARTICLE I: You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV, or any other form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them, but no one is guaranteeing anything. ARTICLE II: You do not have the right to never be offended. This country is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone -- not just you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc.; but the world is full of idiots, and probably always will be. ARTICLE III: You do not have the right to be free from harm. If you stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful; do not expect the tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently wealthy. ARTICLE IV: You do not have the right to free food and housing. Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation after generation of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes . ARTICLE V: You do not have the right to free health care. That would be nice, but from the looks of public housing, we're just not interested in public health care. ARTICLE VI: You do not have the right to physically harm other people. If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don't be surprised if the rest of us want to see you fry in the electric chair.. ARTICLE VII: You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If you rob, cheat, or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don't be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you still won't have the right to a big screen color TV or a life of leisure. ARTICLE VIII: You do not have the right to a job. All of us sure want you to have a job, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful. (AMEN!) ARTICLE IX: You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American means that you have the right to PURSUE happiness, which by the way, is a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an over abundance of idiotic laws created by those of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights. ARTICLE X: This is an English speaking country. We don't care where you are from, English is our language. Learn it or go back to wherever you came from! (Lastly....) ARTICLE XI: You do not have the right to change our country's history or heritage. This country was founded on the belief in one true God. And yet, you are given the freedom to believe in any religion, any faith, or no faith at all; with no fear of persecution The phrase IN GOD WE TRUST is part of our heritage and history, and if you are uncomfortable with it, TOUGH! If you agree, share this with a friend. No, you don't have to, and nothing tragic will befall you if you don't. I just think it's about time common sense is allowed to flourish. Sensible people of the United States speak out because if you do not, who will? Thank you Maggie!
