Read & Re-post for the Good of Us All.

Yes, the problem IS Congress, NOT the President.

Warren Buffet is asking everyone to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list.

If those twenty do the same, in three days most people in the U.S. will have the message.


We're ALL in this mess together ... it's up to us to fix it!

Read and pass on to 20 of your friends... 

Warren Buffett, in a recent interview with CNBC, offers one of the best quotes about the debt ceiling ... 
"I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC. "You just pass a law that says that any time there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election." 
The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months and 8 days to be ratified! Why?
Simple! The people demanded it. 
That was in 1971 - before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc. 
Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took one (1) year or less to become the law of the land - all because of public pressure. Warren Buffet is 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 2012 

1. No Tenure/No Pension 
A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're 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/women are void effective 12/1/12. 

The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women. 
Congress 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. 
Don't you think it's time? 
THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS! 
If you agree, pass it on. 
If not, delete. 
You are one of my 20+ ... please keep it going, and thanks!

Just had to be noted.

So if you were in NYC for the last 2 days you may have seen the news about the Eastside madam who was arrested Monday or Tuesday. Funny thing is they arrested her at her apartment which happens to be across the street from me.(#2 in picture above). Now if you remember from a few weeks ago Governor Spitzer resigned his office and that is also just caddy corner to my building over on 3rd avenue.(#1 in picture above). There is word that this Madam had the black book that had the former Gov. and many others in it. She says she doesn't. I guess we will find out. Funny to to me though that in the picture above he basically could have walked over with a nice appointment after he resigned just a half a block away. PS: Was in a hurry to post so don't yell at me for the crude numbers on the pictures. Haha.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah......

We were standing at that sign for a few minutes trying to figure out how to say it and then why someone would make the obvious mistake and not fix it eventually. This shot was on the way to my friend Everett's bday party out in Astoria. It was a train ride and a bit of a walk and no friends showed up, I would have killed them but we had a good time anyway. I went out with my friend Steve and we met up with Jorge and his hubby Steve. I wrote about the event a bit ago. These are the Hell Gate Social pics.
