Congress. Above the Law?

One Good Idea

For far too long we have been complacent about the workings of Congress.
Many citizens had no idea that Congress members could retire with the same pay after only one term.
Or, that they didn't pay into Social Security.
That they specifically exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed (such as being exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment) while ordinary citizens must live under those laws.
The latest is to exempt themselves from the Health care Reform that is being considered....in all of its forms. We do not have an elite that is above the law.
I truly don't care if they are Democrat, Republican, or Independent. The self-serving must stop.
The time has come.
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 Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States ".
