Fire The Ruling Class
Fire The Ruling Class
Mission Statement
Our mission is to take America back from the elite ruling class of career politicians, lobbyists and special interest groups who now rule the country, often contrary to the wishes of the people. Our goal is to return American government to the original vision of the country's founders; to reinstate a government "by the people and for the people". By exercising our right to vote career politicians out of office, we intend to return the government to its rightful owners - we the people.

Received this great suggestion from a friend. Now, how do we get sponsorship and support from members of Congress...support it or we vote you out?

Congressional Reform Act of 2009

  1. Term Limits: 12 years only, one of the possible options:
    1. Two Six-year Senate terms
    2. Six Two-year House terms
    3. One Six-year Senate term and three Two-Year House terms
  2. No Tenure / No Pension. A congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.
  3. Congress (past, present & future) participates inSocial Security. 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 equally with the American people in the Social Security system.
  4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan just as all Americans.
  5. Congress will no longer be able to vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
  6. Congress looses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.
  7. Congress must equally abide in and by all laws they impose on the States and the American people.
  8. All contracts with past and present congressmen are void effective 1/1/10. The American people did not make this contract with congressmen, congressmen made all these contracts for themselves.

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.

Hello 'FiretheRulingClass.org', I think this movement, and actions, are just what Our Founding Fathers would call for in this time and circumstance. Being a regular commenter, on national politics,- on WAPO, has helped to make me even more aware at just how much Our so-called Congress has been taken over by the $Banksters, $WALLsters, FEDsters, - and even Our own Elected Congress. - Enough is Enough America! - WE-the-People are suppose to be in charge;- and as the Constitutional Citizenry Electorate,- Constitutionally should have power and rule over Our Elected Officials. We need to get back to Our Founding Father's Principles, and to honor and respect Our- the U.S. CONSTITUTION. - No where in my / Your' Consitution does it read:- 'we-the-$banksters', nor 'we-the-$wallsters', nor 'we-the-$FEDsters! - "God Bless Our REPUBLIC"! - Joe Ward - (jward52) p.s.(glad to be in the first 30, from Ohio, as a member of - 'GOOOH'. -- 43040

I've been looking for a site like this. I made my pledge and hope many more will do the same. Voting these guys out is the only way to change things.

I'm telling everyone that I know about your site. Good luck with your movement.

I first heard about your web site on the Rush Limbaugh show. It has a lot of good information. I think that 12 years is long enough, and then only if they're representing our interests.
