Subject: Social security

So that any that do not, may know.

Our Senators and Congressmen do not pay in to Social Security, and, of course, they do not collect from it. The reason is that they have a special retirement plan that they voted for themselves many years ago. For all practical purposes, it works like this.

When they retire, they continue to draw their same pay, until they die, except that it is increased from time to time, by cost of living adjustments. For instance, Former Senator Bradley, and his wife, may be expected to draw $7,900,000, with Mrs. Bradley drawing $275,000 during the last year of her life. This is calculated on an average life span for each. This would be all well and good, except that they paid nothing in on any kind of retirement, and neither does any other Senator or congressman. This fine retirement comes right out of the general fund. Our tax money. While we who pay for it all, draw an average of $1000/month from Social Security. Imagine for a moment if you can structure a retirement plan so desirable that people have extra deducted so that they may increase their own personal retirement income. A retirement plan that works so well, that Railroad employees, Postal workers, and others who are not in it, are clamoring to get in it. That is how good Social Security could be, if only one change is made. That is, jerk the Golden Fleece retirement out from under the Senators and Congressmen, put them in Social Security, with the rest of us, and watch how fast they fix it. If enough people receive this, maybe one or some of them along the way, might be able to help. How many can YOU send it to?

SUBJECT: Americans with Disabilities Act

As some of you may know, this year marks the 10th anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). President George Bush was president and his zeal for the disabled was remarkable. All over these United States, plans are in place for a great celebration.

I find it funny that a German Car Manufacture is sponsoring this historic event. Yes, The Big 3 did not seem interested in this event, so, VW jumped in and is picking up the major portion of the cost. Jump to this link for more information: http://www.spiritofada.org. There are links to your state's events.
