“The amendment was deemed unnecessary by the Republicans, and was voted down 236 to 184. Only one House Republican voted in support of the amendment, while only two House Democrats voted against the amendment. Republicans argued that while the proposed legislation wouldn’t help the situation, they were willing to work on new legislation in the future.”

The House of Representatives has rejected an effort to give the Federal Communications Commission the power to stop employers from asking job applicants for their password to Facebook and other social networking sites.

The effort was an amendment, proposed by Representative Ed Perlmutter of Colorado, added to legislation to reform the FCC.

“What this amendment does is it says that you cannot demand, as a condition of employment, that somebody reveal a confidential password to their Facebook, to their Flickr, to their Twitter, whatever their account may be,” Perlmutter said during a speech on the House floor.

The amendment would have added the following paragraph to the Federal Communications Commission Process Reform Act of 2012:

“Nothing in this Act or any amendment made by this Act shall be construed to limit or restrict the ability of the Federal Communications Commission to adopt a rule or to amend an existing rule to protect online privacy, including requirements in such rule that prohibit licensees or regulated entities from mandating that job applicants or employees disclose confidential passwords to social networking websites.”

The amendment was deemed unnecessary by the Republicans, and was voted down 236 to 184. Only one House Republican voted in support of the amendment, while only two House Democrats voted against the amendment. Republicans argued that while the proposed legislation wouldn’t help the situation, they were willing to work on new legislation in the future.

It would contain eight provisions, all of which would probably be strongly endorsed by those who drafted the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.


I know many of you will say, “this is impossible”.  Let me remind you, Congress has the lowest approval of any entity in Government, now is the time when Americans will join together to reform Congress – the entity that represents us. 
We need to get a Senator to introduce this bill in the  US  Senate and a Representative to introduce a similar bill in the  US  House.  These people will become American hero’s..  

Thanks,
A Fellow American
 
   
.Congressional Reform Act of 2010


1. Term Limits: 12 years only, one of the possible options below.        Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career.  The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and back to work.A. Two Six year Senate terms
B. Six Two year House terms
C. One Six year Senate term and three Two Year House terms
 

 2.  No Tenure / No Pension:     Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career.  The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and back to work.    A congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.

 
 3.  Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security:    Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career.  The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, server your term(s), then go home and back to work.    All funds in the Congressional retirement fund moves to the Social Security system immediately.  All future funds flow into the Social Security system, Congress participates with the American people.
 
 4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan just as all Americans.  Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career.  The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and back to work.
 
5. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise.  Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career.  The Founding Fathers envisioned  citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and back to work.

6. Congress looses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.  Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career.  The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and back to work.
7. Congress must equally abide in all laws they impose on the American people.  Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career.  The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and back to work.
  
 
 8. All contracts with past and present congressmen are void effective 1/1/11.     Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career..  The Founding Fathers envisioned  citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and back to work. 
  
  
     The American people did not make this contract with congressmen, congressmen made all these contracts for themselves.

WHICH IS THE MOST TRUTHFUL? LISTENING TO THE REPORTER WHO JUST GIVES HIS OWN OPINIONS OR TO THOSE WHO CITE THE ORIGINAL SOURCE THAT SAID IT?
 
 
By Donna Smith and John Whitesides Donna Smith And John Whitesides – 1 hr 4 mins ago

 WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives pounced on a congressional budget analysis to bolster their plan for a government-run health insurance option on Monday, as party leaders said they were closer to agreement on healthcare reform.

The report by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said the public option proposed by Democrats would not drive private insurers out of business and most people would still choose to get their medical coverage through employers.

The public option has come under heavy fire from Republicans who say it will devastate the private insurance industry.

“We’re moving closer to a point where we can hold insurance companies accountable,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat, told reporters, repeating her frequent prediction that once a bill hits the floor for a vote “it will win.”
