How does this sound for a draft of the 28th Amendment to the Constitution?

Now all you attorneys, advocates and activists have something to work on!

Feel free to take this humble legal secretary's work and refine it, but don't change it too much!

We like HR 25 just like it is!

P.S. -- I think the actual Fair Tax legislation outlines whether we have 6 months or 2 years to fully comply with this law. Please correct me if I'm wrong!
