If you click on the snopes verification link in the original email from
Doug, it is clear that Warren Buffet [sic] is NOT asking that the email
be forwarded. In fact, he apparently has no connection to it at all
beyond the fact that someone put his name on it.
That said, it is not such a bad idea..

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/woman collects a salary while in office and receives
no pay when they're 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/women are void
effective 1/1/12. The American people did not make this
contract with Congressmen/women.
Congressmen/women 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.
Don't you think it's time?
THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!
If you agree with the above, pass it on.
Please keep it going. Thanks.*Snopes verification:
