Martin Luther King Day, Monday Boulder Event by Barrack Obama 2012 Election Campaign
Jan 11th
Friend –Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is this Monday, and we’re commemorating it over the next several days with service opportunities to help build the kind of future that he envisioned.
Some of us will be pitching in at food and clothing drives. Others will help out with neighborhood cleanup, education projects, blood drives, or other events. This movement has always been about more than winning one election. It’s about empowering others and strengthening the communities where we live. There’s a chance to get involved in Boulder on Monday. Can you join? What: Martin Luther King, Jr. Day event in BoulderWhere: 1107 pearl st
Boulder, CO 80302 When: Monday, January 16th When President Obama dedicated the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial in D.C., he reminded us that change never comes quickly or easily — it requires determination and relentlessness in the face of adversity. The work we do is about reshaping our communities and our nation for the better. As we remember Dr. King and honor his legacy, let’s get out in our neighborhoods and fight for the causes we share and a country where everyone has a fair shot. I hope you can join the service event this Monday: http://my.barackobama.com/MLK-Day-Service Thanks, Michael Michael Blake P.S. — If you can’t make it to this event, please consider finding other service opportunities at www.serve.gov— it’s a great website that helps volunteers find ways to get involved in their area. |
Warren Buffett, “I could end the deficit in 5 minutes”
Oct 26th
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
& 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 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 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 effective 1/1/12.
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.
