Okay /pol/, today I got a meme chain letter in my facebook inbox from my weird aunt.
I'm just going to post it here verbatim.
'Please read 28th amendment
Please Read, and forward. This will only take 1 minute to read!
28th Amendment, 35 States and Counting.
It will take you less than a minute to read this. If you agree, please pass it on. It's an idea whose time has come to deal with this self-serving situation:
OUR PRESENT SITUATION !
Children of Congress members do not have to pay back their college student loans.
Staffers of Congress family members are also exempt from having to pay back student loans.
Members of Congress can retire at full pay after only one term.
Members of Congress have exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed, under which ordinary citizens must live.
For example, they are exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment.
And as the latest example, they have exempted themselves from Healthcare Reform, in all of its aspects.
We must not tolerate an elite class of such people, elected as public servants and then putting themselves above the law.
I truly don't care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent, or whatever. The self-serving must stop.
Governors of 35 states have filed suit against the Federal Government for imposing unlawful burdens upon their states.It only takes 38 (of the 50) States to convene a Constitutional Convention.
If each person that receives this will forward it on to 20 people, in three days most people in The United States of America will have the message.
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 and/or Representatives; 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 ..."
You are one of my 20.'
Discuss.
Nothing makes me want to water the proverbial tree of liberty more than shit like this.

Agree except for the part about sexual harassment, apparently they've never heard of Dennis Hastert.
Fuck the US Constitution anyways.
Confederate Constitution > corrupt bullshit

>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 ..."

We need to unironically solve the woman problem.
If you really want change, make it legal for any constituent to murder his/her representative if a random sample of 10% of registered voting constituents held every six months results in >50% voting for "dismissal. Any person holding public office is subject to dismissal.
>>140449243
a more realistic number would be 70%. Otherwise people would be afraid to do anything. at this threshold, congress would have still been killed off .
>>140448245
Can you summarize the Confederate constitution in comparison to the US one? I don't feel like putting myself to sleep with a wikipedia page.

"When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.
When the government fears the people, there is liberty."
So either everyone or no-one is allowed on the Senate floor?
