Americans are asking you do a stop payment on a presidential, congressional and US senatorial pensions

When the United States of America was founded by people who were freedom fighters.  They were common folk.  Now days they have careers then get pensions.  We need to create several constitutional amendments.  One to repeal the 16th amendment which if you talk to the Ron Paul bots.  This amendment was never ratified this needs to be replaced with a flat tax or a consumption tax.  Then you have that 27th amendment which allows congressman to get paid during a government shutdown.  Why do we have a shutdown.  This could have avoided if the Unaffordable Care Act was ruled unconstitutional.  This is a tax the Supreme Court said so.  Let's create an initiative and referendum process.  Every four years citizens with a minimum of four million signature like the state of Alaska must have 20 percent of each state's registered voters to qualify.  You have additional cabinet position called the Secretary of Domestic Affairs this would ratify citizen petitions.  Then put term limits many municipal government do this and we do our president, now time for congress and senators.  We also need to stop funding the pensions of any federal lawmaker.  You serve your country unless you were a federal employee before you became a lawmaker you get no pension.  No pension, No retirement and no presidential library.  I am not paying for the Barack Obama presidential golf course library on the lakefront of Lake Michigan within Chicago city limits.  If the taxpayers of Chicago want this they can pay for it themselves.  Each presidential library can be paid for by the families that have these president not my tax dollars.  Our first lawmakers had no pension.  Remember Thomas Jefferson started the Modern Library of Congress in 1815 when he donated his personal collection before that it was just for lawmakers only.  Each president til 1969 served there time with no pension back to their lives.  Lyndon Baines Johnson was the first president to serve under a pension many congressman have been doing it for years before the presidents did.  We need to get back to the basics our country was founded in 1787.  Just the basic no gravy allowed unless it is on my plate thanks.
