They should live by their own rules.

ALERT: U.S. Lawmakers propose 28th Amendment to force government to live by its own rules! Take Action and Blast Faxes to Congress! American Conservative, It's time our overgrown government be subjected to the same "rules" they set for us. As our lawmakers find it necessary to pass multitudes of new laws annually, it's only proper that we require them to abide by them too. Already we've seen lawmakers exempt themselves from Obamacare - a law, they claimed, was "so good" its passage "couldn't wait" - and we've seen others in government surround themselves with armed security, while they vote against our Second Amendment right to defense at every turn. It's time to end the double standards and the special privileges. The good news is: several lawmakers in both houses of Congress are getting behind the idea of a constitutional amendment that would do just this. Take action and blast faxes to U.S. Representatives and Senators urging them to AMEND THE CONSTITUTION and FORCE GOVERNMENT TO LIVE UNDER ITS OWN RULES! It's high time for a TWENTY-EIGHTH AMENDMENT! ** Sign the petition and message your U.S. Rep/Sens here. A Twenty-Eighth Amendment Right now, Reps. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and Matt Salmon (R-AZ) are sponsoring a constitutional amendment that would prevent lawmakers from exempting themselves from their own legislation. "Members of Congress are servants of the people, not a ruling class separate and distinct from the people," says Rep. DeSantis. "Congress cannot be allowed to impose burdens on the American people while relieving its own members of those burdens. A twenty-eighth amendment is needed to hold Congress accountable and to restore principles of proper constitutional government." Rep. Salmon argues, "A government of the people, by the people, for the people should live under the same rules it passes for the people." Senator Rand Paul agrees. Just this week he introduced S.J. Res. 25 "proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States relative to applying laws equally to the citizens of the United States and the Federal Government." This said, we need to tell every lawmaker to join in with Desantis, Salmon, and Paul and run with the idea of a Constitutional amendment to subject government to its own laws! Take action and blast faxes to U.S. Representatives and Senators urging them to AMEND THE CONSTITUTION and FORCE GOVERNMENT TO LIVE UNDER ITS OWN RULES! It's high time for a TWENTY-EIGHTH AMENDMENT! ** Sign the petition and message your U.S. Rep/Sens here. It's Natural It's only natural that the government should live under its own laws - such is the American Way. Our founders based the Constitution upon natural law or "the law of Nature and Nature's God." Natural law says that there is one law to govern all, not one law for the People and a separate law for those in government. Is this not still true today? We need to rally our lawmakers to amend the Constitution to declare "Congress shall make no law" applicable to a citizen of the United States that is not equally applicable to those in government! The Constitution was last amended in 1992 - let's see that it is amended again! Take action and blast faxes to U.S. Representatives and Senators urging them to AMEND THE CONSTITUTION and FORCE GOVERNMENT TO LIVE UNDER ITS OWN RULES! It's high time for a TWENTY-EIGHTH AMENDMENT!
