A petition for congressional term limits.

ARE WE THERE YET?

House of Representatives voted down the six page “bail-out” bill on Monday September 29th. We as taxpayers hoped the men, who were responsible for running these companies, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into the ground and reaping huge rewards, would be brought to justice.

ARE WE THAT STUPID?

Congress added 450 pages and 110 billion “pork-barrel” tax credits to the original bill. They even changed the name to “A Rescue Bill” and passed it. It wasn’t enough that the original bill would cost us, our children and possibly our grandchildren, now generations of children will have to pay for it. Many, lost retirements accounts and don’t know what to do.

WHO’S TO BLAME?

It took Congress only 10-12 years to get us into this mess and it will take a long time and a lot of money to get us out. They are to blame! Still the men who abused the financial system are free. Where would anyone of us (taxpayer) be if we abused the system to a tune of 100 million dollars?

LET US PAY THEM BACK!

Congressional members have plenty of perks and a basic pay of $169,300 for 2008. They will get a raise of $4,100 in January of 2009. They don’t care about the average taxpayer because they feel they are above the average taxpayer. They work for themselves, not us. Let’s block the raises and push for term limits! No member of Congress could hold office for more eight years! Let’s show them how we feel!
