 Hi Don,

 Please check Snopes.com on the issue
 about Congressional staffers families
 not having to pay back student loans:
 www.snopes.com/politics/business/studentloans.asp

 It is FALSE.

 Take care.

 If it weren't for the United States military,
 there'd be NO United States of America.

   The men and women of our armed forces, after 20 years of service, can 
retire
   with 50% of pay while those who serve in congress will retire at full 
pay
   after serving ONLY one term!

   etc...

   This is NOT right!

   UNEXPLAINABLE,    INEXCUSABLE



   No  one has been able to explain to me why  young men and women serve in 
the
   U.S. Military for 20 years, risking  their lives protecting freedom, and
   only get 50% of their pay. While  Politicians hold their political
   positions in the safe confines of the  capital, protected by these same 
men
   and women, and receive full pay  retirement after serving one term. It 
just
   does not make any sense.

   Monday on Fox news they   learned that the staffers of Congress family
   members are exempt from   having to pay back student loans. This will 
get
   national attention if   other news networks will broadcast it. When you 
add
   this to the below,   just where will all of it stop?
   35 States file lawsuit against the   Federal Government

   Governors of 35 states have filed  suit  against the Federal Government 
for
   imposing unlawful burdens upon  them. It  only takes 38 (of the 50) 
States
   to convene a Constitutional  Convention.

   This will take less than thirty seconds to  read. If you  agree, please 
pass
   it on.

   This is an idea  that we should  address.

   For too long we have been too  complacent about the  workings of 
Congress.
   Many citizens had no idea  that members of Congress  could retire with 
the
   same pay after only one  term, that they specifically  exempted 
themselves
   from many of the laws  they have passed (such as being  exempt from any 
fear
   of prosecution  for sexual harassment) while ordinary  citizens must 
live
   under those  laws. The latest is to exempt themselves  from the 
Healthcare
   Reform...  in all of its forms. Somehow, that doesn't  seem logical. We 
do
   not  have an elite that is above the law. I truly don't  care if they 
are
   Democrat, Republican, Independent or whatever.. The  self-serving must
   stop.

   If each person that receives this  will forward it  on to 20 people, in
   three days, most people in The United  States of  America will have the
   message.. This is one proposal that really   should be passed around.

   Proposed 28th Amendment to the   United States Constitution: "Congress 
shall
   make no law that applies  to  the citizens of the United States that 
does
   not apply equally to  the  Senators and/or Representatives; and, 
Congress
   shall make no law  that  applies to the Senators and/or Representatives 
that
   does not  apply equally  to the citizens of the United States ."
