From the mouth of Warren Buffett, "I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC. "You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all
sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election. The 26th
amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months
& 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in
1971...before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc. Of the 27 amendments to
the Constitution, seven (7) took 1 year or less to become the law of the
land...all because of public pressure.
Warren Buffet is asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of
twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do
likewise.
In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the
message. This is one idea that really should be passed around.
*Congressional Reform Act of 2011*
1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman 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.
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 are void effective 1/1/12.
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, so ours
should serve their term's), then go home and 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. Maybe it is
time.
THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!!!!! If you agree with the above, pass it on.

PA50II Revival.
Thinking about a few things lately, namely concerning the various projects sitting around in various states of completion. The first one being and old 78 Honda PA50II rolling Chase i have rotting away in my garage. the frame is in rather good condition the gas engine sitting on vat of oil on my shelf and the lack of engine mount tabs that ended up tearing off do to my fault.
It is a nice little beast prime for a electric conversion... that is if i ever get around to purchasing a DC motor for it, building a battery cage and a decent curtis speed controller.

Motor-bicycle project update
I finally got the bike back up and operational, theirs a few tweeks i am going to be wanting to do to improve performance in the next few week on traditional gasoline/petro fuel source.
So far so good and a ton of thanks from www.motorbicycling.com forum member "The_aleman" for hooking me up with the correct bushing part number and suggestion to grab a bin washer to keep the new 4G transmission together.
Considering a few ideas i want to look into are as follows.
#1. Wood/coal gas fuel reactor. Either small enough to build onboard the bike, or feasibly have on a cargo trailer.
#2. GEET Fuel processor. Promising, but i am still a little weary seeing the whole snake oil aspect around the discoverer of the technology.
#3. Waste Vegetable oil fuel's. very optimistic about this, problem is i will need a whole new power plant/engine. These smaller diesel engines are not cheap, these beasts easily go for $250-600. and would classify me under a motorcycle, not very much looking forward to have to plate, have inspected, and insure another experimental vehicle. My understanding it is very much a pain to get a VIN etc assigned to a Frankenstein.
Some inspirational videos i found
Wood/Coal gas motor cycle
circa early 1900's
WoodGas generator nothing like free electricity!
Ford F250 running on downdraft gasifier
Mini bike briggs engine on gassifier
