So lets get it done.
This Act will reduce the salary of an elected Member of Congress to $1 a year after they serve 12 years and does not require a Constitutional amendment. It was introduced by
Rep. Rooney, Francis [R-FL-19] and co-sponsored by:
- Rep. Tenney, Claudia [R-NY-22]
- Rep. Gaetz, Matt [R-FL-1]
- Rep. Gallagher, Mike [R-WI-8]
- Rep. Meadows, Mark [R-NC-11]
- Rep. Blum, Rod [R-IA-1]
- Rep. Norman, Ralph [R-SC-5]
If one of the above is your representative - please call and thank them.
If not, please call your representative and ask them to throw their support behind the bill.
In any event - call your Senator and tell them you want the same Bill passed in the Senate.
The Bill is called H.R.5539 - Thomas Jefferson Public Service Act of 2018
I found the following extracts interesting from the press release announcing the introduction of the bill:
"When my home state of Florida passed term limits, 76% of Sunshine State voters voted in favor. In fact, Florida is one of 15 states to currently have legislative term limits. This year, a nationwide poll conducted by McLaughlin & Associates found that 82% of voters support Congressional term limits, including 89% of Republicans, 83% of independents, and 76% of Democrats. "
"Many states have had this positive experience with their term limits. They certainly work well in Florida. Contrary to arguments that term limits would overly empower unelected voices, the experience with term limits in Florida demonstrates otherwise. State government has shrunk, spending is under control, and the people overwhelmingly support this system."
Do not let the Swamp Monsters stop us getting what over three quarters of people from all political parties desperately want. Lets work together on this - it would be a great step in uniting the country and healing some of its wounds.
About freaking time. Now let's get this passed once and for all
It will call out all those swamp monsters who say they support term limits, but hide behind the constitutional amendment process. This Bill eliminates that process from the equation.
Lets see which emperors have no clothes.
👍👍 keen interesting
