28th Amendment


"When the people fear their government there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty."~Thomas Jefferson
They would fear this!

Amendment 28


Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators or Representatives, and Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States .




Let's get this passed around, folks - these people have brought this upon themselves!!!



AND let all the people say, "AMEN"!

Good plan--BUT "WE THE PEOPLE" need to defend what is already written for us. If we can't do that why would they. It may be more work for us but nothing GREAT comes easy!!

This is BS. Everyone should know that the only thing that can keep Congress in check is a Balanced Budget Amendment. Focus on that as the next amendment to the Constitution. The OP suggestion is a waste of time & energy.
