Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard is an Iraq war veteran and an Army Captain who has finally had ENOUGH of Obama and just EXPOSED him on life TV…. AND SHE’S A DEMOCRAT!
Gabbard went on Tucker Carlson about Obama and ISIS and she confirmed America’s worst nightmare!
CONGRESSWOMAN GABBARD CONFIRMED THAT OBAMA’S ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN FUNNELING MONEY TO ISIS THROUGH THE CIA AND SAUDI ARABIA!
Here is Tucker’s exchange with Congresswoman Gabbard: (Video Below)
Tucker: The average American, you, me, are not allowed to send weapons to terror groups.
Rep. Gabbard: We would be thrown in jail
Tucker: But the U.S. government, as a matter of policy, arms and aides these groups?
Rep. Gabbard: This is the problem tucker, is that… there’s a double standard here… For years now, our government, working with countries like Saudi Arabia, turkey and Quatar, have been through the CIA, quietly arming and supporting these groups that are directly working with groups like Al quada and ISIS. All in this effort to overthrow the Syrian government.
Rep. Gabbard: They have ben funneling support through countries like Saudi Arabia, and others, who are also directly supporting these groups.
Rep. Gabbard: This is MADNESS that this has been allowed to occur for so long. and MADNESS that we have allowed the devastating consequences to occur as a result, without checking it.
Gabbard went on to describe her new bill that will stop Obama’s SICK policies. It is called the “Stop Arming Terrorists” act and she is urging Americans to tell their Reps about it!

Tulsi is not the only American patriot who has been to Syria and reported that obvious..That Obama aided the overthrow of Qaddafi based on lies, that he committed the US to funding, organizing and arming the various jihadists in Syria to overthrow Assad is beyond dispute. Hillary Clinton promised to impose a no-fly zone to create a safe-haven for the terrorists, even at theerisk of war with Russia. President Trump has upset that applecart and has opened the door to collaboration with Russia to defeat ISIS, Al-Nusra, et al and stabilize the region. Ergo the wild freakouts from the MSM.

No, Tulsi is far more valuable to promote unification and bi-partisan support for the President’s plan to join Russia in crushing terrorism. There is a void in the Democratic Party following its disastrous embrace of Obama’s policies.

Another example is her co-sponsorship of HR 790, return to Glass-Steagall, for which the president has also stated his support..

All members of Congress pay Social Security taxes in the same amounts as they would if they were employed in the private sector at the same salary level. The amount of a congressional pension varies and depends on years of service, age at the time of retirement, and salary.
The facts: The confusion about Social Security probably results from the fact that before 1984, Senators and Representatives did not participate in the Social Security program. Like all federal government employees at that time, members of Congress were covered by a pension plan, called the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS), that did not require payment of Social Security taxes and did not provide Social Security benefits. In 1983, Congress passed a law (P.L. 98-21) that required all federal employees first hired after 1983 to participate in Social Security. The law also required all members of Congress to participate in Social Security as of January 1, 1984, regardless of when they first entered Congress. Because the CSRS was not designed to coordinate with Social Security, Congress directed the development of a new retirement plan for federal employees, called the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS), which does coordinate a federal pension with Social Security.
Members of Congress are eligible for a pension at age 62 if they have completed at least five years of service. They are eligible for a pension at age 50 if they have completed 20 years of service, or at any age after completing 25 years of service. The amount of the pension depends on years of service and the average of the highest three years of salary. By law, the starting amount of a member’s retirement annuity may not exceed 80 percent of his or her final salary.
Read a report that provides more detail on retirement benefits for members of Congress.

Benjamin Franklin told us, over 240 years ago, if your government goes amuck – then change it. Here, we are given a most positive way.
Warren Buffett 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.
The BUFFETT Rule
Let’s see if these idiots understand what people pressure is all about.
Salary of retired US Presidents .. . . . .. . . . . .. . $180,000 FOR LIFE.
Salary of House/Senate members .. . . . .. . . . $174,000 FOR LIFE. This is stupid
Salary of Speaker of the House .. . . . .. . . . . $223,500 FOR LIFE. This is really stupid
Salary of Majority / Minority Leaders . . .. . . . . $193,400 FOR LIFE. Stupid
Average Salary of a teacher . . .. . . . .. . . . . .. .$40,065
Average Salary of a deployed Soldier . . .. . . .. $38,000
Here’s where the cuts should be made!
Warren Buffett, in a recent interview with CNBC, offers one of the best quotes about the debt ceiling:
“I could end the deficit in five 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 three months and eight 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 one (1) year or less to become the law of the land – all because of public pressure.
Warren Buffett 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 2017
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 3/1/17. 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!
If you agree, pass it on

Those numbers about retirement/pension are the stupid crap that’s been circulating the internet for years. If you want to stop a problem, it only does you harm when you spread lies and misinformation.
“members of Congress do not receive their full pay as a pension upon leaving office. That’s the case whether they served one term or several.” Congressmen serving only one two- year term cannot collect any pension at all. Since a Senator serves 6 years, three times as much as a Congressman, if retiring after one term, he/she may collect $16,000 per year, not $174,000. While I personally don’t think they should get squat after only 6 years, I would permit a pension after 12 (if we install a term limit of 12 years), or 20 years if there is no term limit.
