How to fix Congress

*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 each addressee to forward this email to a

minimum of twenty people on their 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.  No Tenure / No Pension. A  Congressman collects a

salary while in office and receives no pay when they

are out of office.

2..  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. 

It may not be used for any other purpose.*

*3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan,

just as all Americans
do.*

*4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise.

Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.*

*5. Congress loses their current health care system and

participates
in the same health care system as the American people.*

*6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose

on the American
people.*

*7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen

are void effective1/1/12. ****The American people did

not make this contract with Congressmen.  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.  Maybe it is time.
*
*THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!!!!!*

*If  you agree with the above, pass it on. 

I’m sure Mr. Moore wants to give me a million bucks

Social Security information
History Lesson on Your Social Security Card
  
Social Security Cards up until the 1980s expressly stated the number and
card were not to be used for identification purposes. Since nearly everyone in the
United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the
message, NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION,was removed.
 

An old Social Security card with the “NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION”message.
Our Social Security

Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social
Security (FICA) Program. He promised:

1.) That participation in the Program would be
Completely voluntary,

No longer Voluntary

2.) That the participants would only have to pay
1% of the first $1,400 of their annual
Incomes into the Program,

Now 7.65%
on the first $90,000

3.) That the money the participants elected to put
into the Program would be deductible from
their income for tax purposes each year,

No longer tax deductible

4.) That the money the participants put into the
independent ‘Trust Fund’rather than into the
general operating fund, and therefore, would
only be used to fund the Social Security
Retirement Program, and no other
Government program, and,

Under Johnson the money was moved to
The General Fund and Spent

5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed
as income.

Under Clinton & Gore
Up to 85% of your Social Security can be Taxed

Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are
now receiving a Social Security check every month —
and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of
the money we paidto the Federal government to ‘put
away’ — you may be interested in the following:

———— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— —-

Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the
independent ‘Trust Fund’ and put it into the
general fund so that Congress could spend it?

A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically
controlled House and Senate.

———— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— —

Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax
deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?

A: The Democratic Party.

———— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— —–

Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social
Security annuities?

A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gorecasting the
‘tie-breaking’ deciding voteas President of the
Senate, while he was Vice President of the  US

———— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— –

Q: Which Political Party decided to start
giving annuity payments to immigrants?

AND MY FAVORITE:

A: That’s right!

Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party.  
Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65,
began to receive Social Security payments! The
Democratic Party gave these payments to them,
even though they never paid a dime into it!

———— — ———— ——— —– ———— ——— ———

Then, after violating the original contract (FICA),
the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want
to take your Social Security away!

And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it!
If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of
awareness will be planted and maybe changes will
evolve.
But it’s worth a try.
How many people can YOU send this to?

Actions speak louder than bumper stickers

 

Lets withhold elected officials pay

PLEASE read and forward to all your e-mail contacts, and post on your Face-book page if you have one… This is getting serious

 
Dear Mr. President, I heard you say you will not guarantee SS checks if the debt ceiling isn’t raised.
 
Why is it the threat always has to do with SS, Medicare, & our Soldiers pay? …trying to scare those who’s needs are greatest?
 
Why not stop YOUR pay, your staff, or Congress and the Senate to save more money for our country?
 
If that isn’t enough, how about withholding foreign aid?
  
Why use Seniors, Soldiers, & our Needy as examples?
 
Take the money from those who take no risks and reap the benefits!!   
 
Instead of threatening to withhold Social Security, VA and disability payments of people who really need the money….
 
Lets hold the paychecks of all house & senate members, then see how fast they resolve the debt ceiling crisis !!!!!
 
If you agree, repost this & keep it going across the whole USA.

    Thank you

A PayPal Phishing scam

I recently received this e-mail which was supposedly from PayPal and

A new tax on home sales

Received this in an e-mail and just passing it on!

Did you know that if you sell your house after 2012 you will pay

a 3.8% sales tax on it?  That’s $3,800 on a $100,000 home etc. 

When did this happen?  It’s in the health care bill.  Just thought

you should know.

 

SALES TAX TO GO INTO EFFECT 2013 (Part of HC Bill)  Why

2013?  Could it be to come to light AFTER the 2012 elections?

 

REAL ESTATE SALES TAX

 

So, this is “change you can believe in”?  Under the new health

care bill – did you know that all real estate transactions will be

subject to a 3.8% Sales Tax?  The bulk of these new taxes don’t

kick in until 2013 If you sell your $400,000 home, there will be

a $15,200 tax.  This bill is set to screw the retiring generation

who often downsize their homes.  Does this stuff make your

November and 2012 vote more important? 

 

Oh, you weren’t aware this was in the obamacare bill?  Guess

what, you aren’t alone.  There are more than a few members of

Congress that aren’t aware of it either.

 

 

I hope you forward this to every single person in your address

book.  VOTERS NEED TO KNOW.

 

So much for the promise that “we are not going to raise taxes,

not one thin dime, for anyone making under $250,000 per year.”

IF this is incorrect, someone please enlighten me!

I get the feeling this is a scam and so does this site

Chase Secret Shopper® LLC

Santa Clara, CA

Chase Secret Shopper® LLC is a company that conduct surveys
 and evaluate other
companies. We get hired to go to other peoples companies
 and act like customers
in order to know how the staffs are handling their services in 
relation to their
customers.
We all shop, and many of us enjoy shopping. But very rarely 
does opportunity
present itself to do what we enjoy doing and getting paid for 
doing it. Imagine
earning extra income just for going shopping and filling out 
a questionnaire!

Your job will be to evaluate and comment on customer service 
in a wide variety
of shops, stores, restaurant and services in your area. No 
commitment is made on
this job, and you would have flexible hours as it suits you. 
Confidentiality is
also very important. In most cases, the establishment is not 
to know that a
mystery shop is taking place. Additionally, the questionnaires 
may be protected
by copyrights. Often, the employee evaluated will be informed 
of the results of
your evaluation later and may even be allowed to read your 
comments. But this is
for management to determine. The information most often 
requested by management
concerns employee to customer relations, employee performance, 
product quality
or presentation of the establishment including cleanliness 
and convenience. This
information helps management to identify areas of strength 
and weakness so they
can take steps to correct the problem or potential problems 
before business is
lost.

Most of the time, the compensation for the assignment is 
established in advance
and paid after the questionnaire is returned. As a mystery 
shopper, you are not
an employee of the company that provides you an assignment--
but rather an
independent contractor. As such, there is no employee benefits 
and no taxes will
be withheld from your pay. You are responsible for reporting 
your own income.
However, you may want to consult your tax advisor as some 
tax breaks may apply.

You will be provided funds in advance for any upcoming 
Evaluation in form of
United States Postal Money Orders to cover wage and 
evaluation. Which you will
cash at your financial institution and you use the money to 
carry out the
Evaluation . You do not have to use any money from your 
pockets. We will provide
you the money for all your assignments.

EARNINGS
Pay can range from $200 to $300 per job assignment, with 
an average of $100 per
assignment. Additionally there is a stipend for purchases. 
The number of
assignments per day vary but if you are assertive in seeking 
work-and work for
several mystery shopping companies-you could garner up to 
20 assignments per
month. While most mystery shoppers consider this a part time 
or "hobby" job, if
you approach the work as a full-time job, you can earn 
$4,000 to $5,000 per
month.
====================================================
If you are interested do send in these information:

FULL NAME:........................
CONTACT ADDRESS..(PLS NO PO BOX ADDRESS)...................
CITY...............
STATE.............
ZIP CODE ................
TELEPHONE NUMBER:...................
MOBILE NUMBER:......................
OCCUPATION:........................
EMAIL:...........................

So we can look at your distance from the locations which 
you have to put your
service into, and your address would also be needed for 
your payments.
Great Pay** Fun Work** Flexible Schedules**No experience 
required.If you can
shop-you are qualified!
No start off fees is required
Must be above 18years old
Must be computer literate
Must be very honest and committed
pls note that this is a part time job

1% tax on all bank transactions HR4646

1% tax on all bank transactions HR4646

Watch for this AFTER November elections; remember this BEFORE you VOTE in case you think Obama’s looking out for your best interest.

1% tax on all bank transactions HR 4646

This government just cannot think of enough ways to hurt the American people! I sure hope this dies!!!!!

FORWARD THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!

1% tax on all bank transactions HR 4646 – ANOTHER NEW OBAMA TAX SLIPPED IN WHILE WE WERE ASLEEP. Checked this on snopes, it’s true! Check out HR 4646.

 

Check it out on Snope: http://www.snopes.com/politics/taxes/debtfree.asp

President Obama’s finance team is recommending a one percent (1%) transaction fee (TAX). Obama’s plan is to sneak it in after the November elections to keep it under the radar.

This is a 1% tax on all transactions at any financial institution – banks, credit unions, savings and loans, etc. Any deposit you make, or even a transfer within your account, will have a 1% tax charged. ~If your paycheck or your social security or whatever is direct deposit, it will get a 1% tax charged for the transaction. ~If your paycheck is $1000, then you will pay Obama $10 just for the privilege of depositing your paycheck in your bank. Even if you hand carry your paycheck or any check into your bank for a deposit, 1% tax will be charged. ~You receive a $5,000 stock dividend from your broker, Obama takes $50 just to allow you to deposit that check in the bank.. ~If you take $1,000 cash to deposit at your bank, 1% tax will be charged.

Mind you, this is from the man who promised that, if you make under $250,000 per year, you will not see one penny of new tax. Keep your eyes and ears open, you will be amazed at what you learn about this guy’s under-the-table moves to increase the number of ways you are taxed.

~Oh, and by the way,if you receive a refund from the IRS next year and you have it direct deposited or you walk in to deposit that check, you guessed it. You will pay a 1% charge of that money just for putting it in your bank. Remember, any money, cash, check or whatever, no matter where it came from, you will pay a 1% fee if you put it in the bank.

Some will say, oh well, it’s just 1%. Are you kidding me? It’s a 1% tax increase across the board. Remember, once the tax is there, they can also raise it at will. And if anyone protests, they will just say, “oh,that’s not really a tax, it’s a user fee”! Think this is no big deal? Go back and look at the transactions you made from last year’s banking statements. Then add the total of all those transactions and deduct 1%. Still think it’s no big deal?

Sorry Mr Wilson, I am not keeping this confidental

 
Attention,
 
I am Mr. Howard Wilson, Director Unit United Nations Inspection Agent
 in Hartsfield International Airport Atlanta Georgia USA . During our
 investigation, I discovered An abandoned shipment through a Diplomat
 from United Kingdom via Africa under iship forwarder which was
 transferred from JF Kennedy Airport to our facility here in Atlanta.
 When scanned, it revealed an undisclosed sum of money in a Metal
 Trunk Box weighing approximately 55kg each. The consignment was
 abandoned because the Content was not properly declared by the
 consignee as (money) rather it was declared as personal effect
 to avoid diversion by the Shipping Agent also the Diplomat 
inability to pay for Non Inspection Fees.
 
On my assumption, each of the boxes will contain more than
 $3 to $4M each and the consignment is still left in 
storage house till today through a registered shipping 
Company, Diplomatic Courier Service Limited a division of 
Tran guard made for Top politicians and Top Government 
officers . The Consignment are two boxes with weight of about
 55kg each (Internal dimension: W61 x H156 x D73 (cm). 
Effective capacity: 380 L.)Approximately.
 
The details of the consignment included your name, are
 tagged on the Trunk boxes so provide your private Phone
 Number full address, name of nearest Airport around and
 other details. You can send the required details to me for
 onward delivery. All communication must be held extremely
 confidential. I can get everything concluded within
 1-2days upon your acceptance and proceed to your address
 for delivery. But I must get assurance from you
 concerning sharing 50%/50% before I will proceed.
 
I want us to transact this business and share the money,
 since the shippers have abandoned it. I will pay for
 the Non inspection fee with the Demurrage and arrange
 for the boxes to be moved out of this Airport to your
 address, once we are through I will deploy the services
 of a secured shipping Company geared to provide the
 security it needs to your doorstep. Or I can bring it
 by myself to avoid any more trouble. But I will share
 it 50% to you and 50% to me. But you have to assure me
 of my share. If you agreed with my condition get back
 to me immediately.

I don’t even know this person

I get the feeling this letter is looking for some easy money.

My Dearest,

 
     I know you will be surprise to receive this email, but Before I go further I will like you to understand that, I am writing this mail to you With due respect trust and humanity, I appeal to you to exercise a little patience and read through my letter I feel quite safe dealing with you in this important business, honestly i am writing this email to you with pains, tears and sorrow from my heart, i will really like to have a good relationship with you and i have a special reason why i decided to contact you, i decided to contact you due to the urgency of my present situation here in the refugee camp. My name is Miss. Joy Kipkalya Kones, 25yrs old female and I from Kenya here in Africa; my father was the former Kenyan road Minister. He and Assistant Minister of Home Affairs Lorna Laboso had been on board the Cessna 210, which was headed to Kericho and crashed in a remote area called Kajong’a, in western Kenya. The plane crashed on Tuesday 10th, June, 2008.

After the burial of my beloved father, my stepmother and uncle conspired and sold all my father’s properties to an Italian Expertrate which they shared the money they sold from the properties among themselves and live nothing for me. Unfortunately to me I fined my father’s briefcase and when I opened it I found a document which my Father used to deposited amount of money in one bank here in Burkina Faso, with my name as the next of kin. I travelled to Burkina Faso here I am, to withdraw the money for a better life
so that I can take care of myself and start up a new life and also further my education, when I arrival to the bank, the Bank foreign Operation Department Director whom I meet in person told me that my father instruction to their bank is that the fund would only be release to me when I am married or present a trustee/partner who will help me and invest the fund overseas after the transfer, and the bank ask me to go and look for a foreign partner, that was why  am contacting you, which I believe that you are going to be honest and reliable person that will help me and stand as my trustee/partner, so that I can present you to the Bank for the release and transfer of the inherited fund into your bank account in your country.

I have chosen to contact you after my prayers and I believe that you will not betray my trust. But rather take me as your own sister. Though you may wonder why I am so soon revealing myself to you without knowing you, well I will say that my mind convinced me that you will be the true person to help me. Moreover, I will like to disclose much to you if you can help me to relocate to your country because my stepmothers have threatened to assinate me. The fund my Father deposited into the bank, is ($8.5 USD) Million United State Dollars, and I have confirmed from the bank here in Burkina Faso, on my arrival, You will also help me to place the fund in a good profitable business venture in your Country, However you will also help by recommending a nice University in your country so that I can further my education. It is my intention to compensate you with 40% of the total money for your services and the balance shall be my capital in your establishment. Now my dear as soon as I receive your positive response showing your interest and wiliness to help me, I will put things into action immediately. In the light of the above, I shall appreciate an urgent message indicating your ability and wilingness to help me and also handle this transaction sincerely. Awaiting your urgent and positive response. Please my dear I want you to keep this as a top secret only to your self for now until the bank will release and transfer my inherited fund to you as my appointed trustee/partner. I beg you once again not to disclose this to any body until i come over your country because I am afraid of my weeked stepmother who has threatened to kill me and have my inherited fund alone. I thank you very much and am expecting to hear from you soonest.
 
Yours Sincerely
Joy Kipkalya Kones.

Reverse pin numbers at ATM machines

PLEASE PASS THIS INFORMATION ON
THE RECENT TRAGEDY OF A YOUNG WOMAN BEING KIDNAPPED AND         
EVENTUALLY KILLED; AFTER SHE HAD REPEATEDLY GIVEN THE KIDNAPPER A WRONG 
PIN TO HER ATM CARD. IF SHE KNEW THE METHOD BELOW, SHE COULD 
HAVE BEEN  SAVED. SO I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT  ENOUGH TO 
LET YOU KNOW.
IF YOU SHOULD EVER BE FORCED BY A ROBBER TO WITHDRAW MONEY FROM 
AN ATM MACHINE, YOU CAN NOTIFY THE POLICE BY ENTERING YOUR PIN 
# IN REVERSE.
FOR EXAMPLE IF YOUR PIN NUMBER IS 1234 THEN YOU WOULD PUT IN 
4321.
THE ATM RECOGNIZES THAT YOUR PIN NUMBER IS BACKWARDS FROM THE 
ATM CARD YOU PLACED IN THE MACHINE. THE MACHINE WILL STILL GIVE 
YOU THE MONEY YOU REQUESTED, BUT UNKNOWN TO THE ROBBER, THE 
POLICE WILL BE IMMEDIATELY DISPATCHED TO HELP YOU.
THIS INFORMATION WAS RECENTLY BROADCAST ON FOX TV AND IT STATES 
THAT IT IS SELDOM USED BECAUSE PEOPLE DON’T KNOW IT EXISTS.
PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG.

Another twist on a potential scam

Attention:

Attorney Barrister John Williams, of J. Williams & Associates.
These men had approached the Central Bank of Nigeria, with a "Power of Attorney,
claiming that due to some inevitable circumstances beyond your control (ILL HEALTH) that
you would not be able to conclude or carry out your obligation to receive your
entitlements from the Central Bank of Nigeria and therefore wish that your fund be
transferred to your friend Mr. Michael Vance from USA, who is presently taking care of
your businesses here in New York.
This Fund valued at US$10 Million had been programmed to be transferred to a bank
account with the Capital One Bank. Find the Bank Account information as they have

The Central Bank of Nigeria had called my attention to this to find out if you’re
really sick and had given this authorization. So if you’re not aware of this please get
back to this office and let me know so I can notify the Central Bank of Nigeria

This looks awful phishy to me

This email looks suspicious to me. First, the return email address is a hotmail account. I am almost positive MSN would not use a hotmail email address. Secondly, Internet 101 states never respond to an email asking for your password and username. Unfortunately, there are ones out in cyber land that will respond to this kind of email and their account and possibly finances will be compromised. It is too bad there are cyber land crooks looking to find an easy buck.
