US Fish & Wildlife Drops GM Crops in 12 States
A small first step in stopping or delaying the GM movement until more research is undertaken to discover unintended consequences. Think about the old "truth" of floride in drinking water; or the "truth" about the "harmful effects of DDT" and the result that more people in Africa die from mosquito bites and malaria than from AIDS. I am not convinced that we cannot find a replacement for DDT to kill mosquitos Or any other one of the great "truths" that scientists discover.

Congressional Protection
The same President who said that wounded warriors should pay (via private insurance) for their own treatment because they are volunteers should say the Senators and Representatives who want more protection should pay for their own protection from their own current budgets because they volunteered to run and serve.

Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik
Yesterday, while listening to Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik's press conference, I became convinced that the sheriff was trying to divert attention and blame away from himself and his sheriff department for failure to track and arrest the shooter before the shootings. Dupnik knew that Giffords was in town and that the shooter had been haressing Giffords for years; Dupnik should have offered protection to Giffords. It was irresponsible to not have a deputy at this meeting.

Congressional Reform Act of 2011
The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971...before computers, before e-mail, before cell phones, etc.
Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took 1 year or less to become the law of the land...all because of public pressure.
I'm asking you to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on your address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise.
In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around.
Congressional Reform Act of 2011
1. Term Limits.
12 years only, one of the possible options below.
A. Two Six-year Senate terms
B. Six Two-year House terms
C. One Six-year Senate term and three Two-Year House terms
2. No Tenure / No Pension.
A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.
3. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security.
All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people.
4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.
5. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
6. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.
7. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.
8. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 1/1/11.
The American people did not make the current contract with members of Congress. Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves.
Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.
If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S. ) to receive the message.
MUCH OF WHAT WE FACE IN TERMS OF PRIVILEGE AND SELFISHNESS IN THIS COUNTRY MIGHT BEST BE CHANGED STARTING FROM THE TOP DOWN. If you agree with the above, pass it on. If not, just delete.
