The TRUMP Rule

Trump rule or not, it’s a good idea.

This email should bring everyone together to get behind these issues
no matter what side of the isle you are on as a tax payer.

Trump is asking everyone to forward this email to a minimum of 20
people, and to ask each of those to do likewise.

In three days, most people in the United States will have the message
This is an idea that should be passed around, regardless of political
party.

The TRUMP Rule
Congressional Reform Act of 2017

1 No Tenure/No Pension. A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in
office and receives no pay when they are out of office.

2. Congress (past, present, & future) participates in Social Security.

All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social
Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social
Security system, and Congress participates with the American people.
It may not be used for any other purpose. [and I add that all Social
Security funds are to be removed from the General fund and used only
for Social Security payments]

3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.

4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional
pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in
the same health care system as the American people.

6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.

7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void
effective 5/1/17. The American people did not make this contract with
Congressmen/women.

Congress made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress
is an honor, not a career The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen
legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and go
back to work.

If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people, then it will only
take three days for most people in the U.S. to receive the message.
It’s time

THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!

Pass it on!!!

OLD PHOTOS WITH CAPTIONS

Here is the way they parked cars in NYC during the 1930’s.
Wouldn’t you love to own this group of cars today?!

Righting the overturned hull of USS Oklahoma at Pearl Harbor, 19 March 1943

A worker helping to build the Empire State Building in the 1930’s, during the Great Depression era.
No safety equipment used here and very dangerous work.

In the Paluxy River, in Glen Rose, Texas, they found human AND
dinosaur footprints in the clay.

This is what NYC looked like in the late 1800’s. A busy place. I wonder who had the job
of picking up all the road apples from the horses?

The USS Ranger….the first Aircraft Carrier. Just look at the Bi-Planes!

A Normandy Beach landing photo they don’t show in textbooks –
Brave women of the Red Cross arriving in 1944 to help the injured troops, WWII.

Library hidden in a cave, a unique repository of ancient manuscripts known as the Library Cave. A hidden cache of 50,000 books
and rolls dating from ca. 500 to 1002 AD that were deemed heretical and hidden in the cave since the early 11th century.

"Second Class Saloon…The saloon that Wyatt Earp and wife owned in Nome, Alaska between 1887-1901
He knew where the money was!

It took big cajones to be a steel worker during this period, where they weren’t
required to use any safety lines. I mean BIG!

This crew was working on the Woolworth Bldg., NYC, in 1926. Like I said…BIG ONES!

Atlanta in the Civil War before Gen. Sherman burned the city to the ground.

New Orleans circa 1906. "Italian headquarters, Madison Street." The streets were still dirt!

This woman!! She cost many American servicemen theirs lives! Actress Jane Fonda sitting on a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun during her 1972 visit to the country,
as a protest against the Vietnam War. POW handed her pieces of paper with SS# on it, she gave the list to the Vietnamese, the soldiers were executed later that same day!!

On July 10, 1913, Death Valley, California hits 134 °F (~56.7 °C), the highest temperature recorded in the United States.
You remember 20 mule team Borax’ ?

A cool photo of the Eiffel Tower, Paris, in 1928.

Baptism in the river. From "Appalachian Life" photographic study.

Child soldier – in desperation the Nazi’s used many of these children often as fodder for
front line diversionary actions. These children didn’t have a chance.

No other family in American history has suffered a wartime loss like that of Waterloo’s Sullivan family. The Sullivans
gave up their five sons in a World War II tragedy that has never been forgotten.
They all were serving on the same ship that was sunk. The Navy changed its policy, after that tragedy, about next of kin serving on the same ship.

lleta Sullivan reads a letter from the U.S. Navy. She received two letters from F.D.R. in February of 1943. The first informed her of the death of her five sons in the line of duty, the second sent later requested her presence at the christening of the destroyer U.S.S. Sullivans named in their honor.

the following says it correctly :
"The HOLOCAUST was not just a Jewish massacre; far less Jews were annihilated than were Christians, most being Lutherans" . . . sad that side of the story is NEVER said about the Holocaust.

Remember this
lady?

Irena Sendler

Died: May 12, 2008 (aged 98)
Warsaw, Poland

During WWII, Irena, got permission to work in the
Warsaw ghetto, as a Plumbing/Sewer specialist.
She had an ulterior motive.

Irena smuggled Jewish infants out in the bottom of
the tool box she carried. She also carried a burlap sack in the back of her truck, for larger kids.

Irena kept a dog in the back that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in and out of the ghetto.

The soldiers, of course, wanted nothing to do with the dog and the barking covered the kids/infants noises.

During her time of doing this, she managed to smuggle out and save

2500 kids/infants.

Ultimately, she was caught, however, and the Nazi’s broke both of her legs and arms and beat her severely.

Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she had smuggled out, In a glass jar that she buried under a tree in her back yard.

After the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived and tried to reunite the family.Most had been gassed. Those kids she helped got placed into foster family homes or adopted.

In 2007 Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize.
She was not selected.

In MEMORIAM – 65 YEARS LATER
I’m doing my small part by forwarding this message. I hope you’ll consider doing the same. It is now more than 65 years since the Second World War in Europe ended.

This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, In memory of the six million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians, mostly Lutherans and 1,900 Catholic priests who were murdered, massacred, raped, burned, starved and humiliated!

Now, more than ever, with Iran , and others, claiming the HOLOCAUST to be ‘a myth’, It’s imperative to make sure the world never forgets, Because there are others who would like to do it again.

This e-mail is intended to reach 40 million people worldwide!

Join us and be a link in the memorial chain and help us distribute it around the world. Please send this e-mail to people you know and ask them to continue the memorial chain.

THE MANY ROADS OF LIFE AND A FEW WORDS OF WISDOM..

GREAT TRUTHS THAT LITTLE CHILDREN HAVE LEARNED:
1) No matter how hard you try, you can’t baptize cats..
2) When your Mom is mad at your Dad, don’t let her brush your hair.
3) If your sister hits you, don’t hit her back. They always Catch the second person.
4) Never ask your 3-year old brother to hold a tomato.
5) You can’t trust dogs to watch your food..
6) Don’t sneeze when someone is cutting your hair..
7) Never hold a Dust-Buster and a cat at the same time.
8) You can’t hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk.
9) Don’t wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts.
10) The best place to be when you’re sad is Grandma’s lap.

GREAT TRUTHS THAT ADULTS HAVE LEARNED:
1) Raising teenagers is like nailing Jello to a tree.
2) Wrinkles don’t hurt.
3) Families are like fudge…mostly sweet, with a few nuts.
4) Today’s mighty oak is just yesterday’s nut that held its ground.
5) Laughing is good exercise. It’s like jogging on the inside.
6) Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy.

GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT GROWING OLD
1) Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.
2) Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get.
3) When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you’re down there.
4) You’re getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster.
5) It’s frustrating when you know all the answers but nobody bothers to ask you the questions.
6) Time may be a great healer, but it’s a lousy beautician.
7) Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes alone.

THE FOUR STAGES OF LIFE:
1) You believe in Santa Claus.
2) You don’t believe in Santa Claus.
3) You are Santa Claus.
4) You look like Santa Claus.

SUCCESS:
At age 4 success is . . . . Not peeing in your pants.
At age 12 success is . . . Having friends.
At age 17 success is . . Having a driver’s license.
At age 35 success is . . . . Having money.
At age 50 success is . . . Having money.
At age 70 success is . .. . Having a driver’s license.
At age 75 success is . … . Having friends.
At age 80 success is . . .. Not peeing in your pants.

Pass this on to someone who could use a laugh.

Always remember to forget the troubles that pass your way;
BUT NEVER forget the blessings that come each day.

Have a wonderful day with many *smiles*
