THE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES

determined

to save succeeding generations from government abuses, which has become a common occurrence and has made this nation divided, and

 to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations protecting the Constitution of the United States and ensure that its Laws are followed, and

that each government official agrees to represent the Citizens of the United States without prejudice and represent each one of us ethically to uphold the Constitution, and

to promote our country’s growth in the US and put the American people first and to protect the American way of life.

As Citizens of this great nation we have resolved to combine our efforts to accomplish these aims.

Accordingly, our respective Governments, through representatives assembled in Washington D.C would propose the following under a Bill brought by the people.

  • Terms will be limited to two for both the U.S. Senate and the U.S. Congress – serving our country is a privilege, NOT a career
  • Ethical standards must be met, adhered to, and monitored by an Independent counsel to ensure they are followed and not abused. A report would be made available to the American people and if abuses are identified, they will be brought forth to the appropriate Courts as appropriate.
  • No Tenure / No Pension. Senate and Congressional representatives would collect salaries while in office but receive pension once they are no longer in office.
  • Senators and Congressional representatives can fund their own retirement plan, just as all Americans are required to do.
  • Senators and Congressional representatives will no longer vote themselves a pay raise; increases in pay should be aligned with CPI.
  • Senators and Congressional representatives must only approve a balanced budget.
  • Senators and Congressional representatives are barred from receiving kickbacks or favors for themselves or their family members. THEY WORK FOR U.S. CITIZENS and OUR COUNTRY’S INTEREST. They are voted in by the people, to work for the people. The position is NOT for personal gain and any inappropriate abuses of any kind will be grounds for immediate termination from public office.
  • No more overpriced awarded government contracts – full disclosure methods must be put into place.
  • Senators and Congressional representatives and related government employees must ALL equally abide by the laws that are currently imposed on the American people.

In closing,

The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators that should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work like all of us. These positions are not meant for personal financial gain nor to receive pay-off’s to influence a Bill or award a contract.

There must be a starting point. All U.S. Citizens can stand together with our differences and make a combined change in our Government to make it accountable.

Once we have 25 million followers on any combination of social media platforms, e.g., Facebook, Twitter, etc. TCOTUS (The Citizens of The United States) will put forth a petition that all can electronically sign. This proposed Bill aims to get our Government to, once again, be a system that works for the people.

Let us stand up as one as we can make a change!
