I wanted to start a thread devoted to the false eMails that keep showing up in my inbox. We all get them, and they're crafted elicit an emotional response so we will forward them without checking facts.
I'm hoping to create a place to educate and possibly reduce the amount of SPAM that clogs everyone's inbox.

That's not the point... the point is they closed for the Islamic equivalent of St Patrick's day and someone sent out an eMail blast saying St. Patrick was the terrorist flying the plane on 9/11

Senators get a Pension for life / don't pay into Social Security
FALSE.
Every Senator elected since 1984 pays into Social Security.
There is a 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.
