Thirty Five States File Lawsuit

I received this as an email a few minutes ago.  I have heard rumors of such a thing; but I have not had time to verify the accuracy of several of the points contained in it. 

I have long been upset that our congress has established itself as an elite group that is largely above the laws that apply to us.  I'm also upset that we have this elected group of individuals that can determine their own salaries and give themselves raises as their constituents fall farther and farther behind.

Read the following.  If you validate that this material is correct and feel compelled (as I am likely to do) to pursue it further, please do so.

Governors of 35 states have filed suit against the Federal Government for imposing unlawful burdens upon them. It only takes 38 (of the 50) States to convene a Constitutional Convention.


This will take less than thirty seconds to read. If you agree, then please pass it on.

This is an idea that we should address.

For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of Congress. Many citizens had no idea that members of Congress could retire with the same pay after only one term, 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 Healthcare Reform that passed... in all of its forms. Somehow, that doesn't seem logical. We should not have an elite group that is above the law. I truly don't care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent or whatever. The self-serving must stop.

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. This is one proposal that really should be passed around.

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 .."
