"Look at the picture of that young Marine, he has been wounded, his face is disfigured, if he stays in the Marines for 20 years he will get 50 percent of his pay at retirement, yet a person in congress will receive 100 percent after just one tour or term."
I was sent this by Gary Gatehouse and I cannot add much to this nor will I try to. The message is clear and it time for those of us who love our country and what it has given us, our families, to take it back before this administration totally runs it into the ground and give the rest away to islam.

Alert Message to US citizens
No one has been able to explain to me why young men and women who serve in the U.S. Military for 20 years, risking their lives protecting freedom, only get 50% of their pay upon retirement. 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 it was learned that the staffers of Congressional members are exempt from having to pay back student loans. This will get national attention if other news networks will broadcast it. Just where will all of it stop?
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."
Ladies and Gentlemen our government sends our young men and women to war, we military folks past and present have marched off to war to protect our country,sent there by congress and the President of the United States. We have been asked by our country to fight those wars not only protect our families but all families,including the congress and their families.

GARY GATEHOUSE COMMENTS:
Look at the picture of that young Marine,he has been wounded,his face is disfigured, if he stays in the Marines for 20 years he will get 50 percent of his pay at retirement, yet a person in congress will receive 100 percent after just one tour or term.
This is where America is today, a Congress that has turned it's back on the American people a congress that is inept, unable to lead, yet they reap all the benefits that they themselves voted in.
This is not right, It is time for all Americans to stand and tell congress you are no better than the constituents/Americans you represent.. It is time for the 28th Amendment to be voted on and those who vote against it, will be thrown out on their ass.
AMERICAN THIS IS YOU COUNTRY AND THESE CON MEN THAT CALL THEMSELVES REPRESENTATIVES OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE MUST BE PUT ON NOTICE ..
"CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW THAT APPLIES TO CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES THAT DOES NOT APPLY EQUALLY TO THE SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES
WE THE PEOPLE MUST DEMAND THIS
