Mid terms are over and the real deal is just around the proverbial corner.
By this time next year we all be at each other throats over political ideology while our corrupt "two-party" poiticians play games with propaganda and lies to get your vote.
For too long these politicians dangle bait in front of us to get us to pick them as our leaders, some of this bait is regards to the citizenry's desire to curb corruption in congress. One of these ideas is "Term Limits"
Currently there are several bills regarding term limits in the house and senate.
As with many bills that the politicians have no intent on passing, they get sent to a committee to die in obscurity

"HOW A BILL BECOMES A LAW"

"The committee chairperson may choose not to
schedule the bill for hearing. In this event, the bill
“dies.“
If the bill is tabled, it may or may not
come back for a vote. If it does not come back for
a vote, the bill “dies”.
Chamber leadership may choose not to schedule
the bill for Second Reading. In this event, the bill
“dies.“

in the case of the following bills, most have sat in a judicial committee since January

H.J.res.3
Sponsored by: Representative Brian K. Fitzpatrick
Co Sponsored by : Representative Mike Gallagher and Representative Bill Posey

H.J.res.11
Sponsored by : Representative Ralph Norman
This bill has a reported 97 co sponsors and still sits in committee

H.J.res.20
Sponsored by : Representative Derrick Van Orden
This bill has no reported Co Sponsors

H.J.res.32
Sponsored by : Representative Claudia Tenney
again, no Co Sponsors

S.J.res.1
Sponsored by : Senator Rick Scott
No Co Sponsors

S.J.res.2
Sponsored by : Senator Ted Cruz
This bill has 17 senate members as co sponsors, all republicans

a few things to point out here...
1st: Dick scott knew his bill, S.J.res.2 would die in senate committee as it is not a single issue bill
2nd: All these bills were introduced by republicans
3rd: Ted cruz, Mike Lee and Josh Hawley (cosponsor) sit on the senate judiciary comittee

House Judiciary Membership
Senate Judiciary Membership

So why do they sit and die in comittee, the current session is nearly over and the likely hood of these bills re-introduced next year is unlikey as most of these people do not face re-election
Now is the time to ACT, lets make sure these poeple know we are watching, holding them accountable... call them and call thier offices, reach out to them on twitter and make your voices heard!!!!

United We Stand!! get off your assess and stand up!

This is typical "two-party" political mechanics

Oh look I tried to pass a bill you wanted, please vote for me
meanwhile months later and this isn't even being discussed, most of these people are looking for reason to NOT be in Washington.

sun tzu was so right...

The time to show the people how much they care about citizens would have been when Republicans had control during the first half of Trump's administration. Proposing bills when they know there's zero chance of them passing is just 'busy work' and a waste of time and money; our money.

It's just the way the game is played, and it works well for the younger voters. It isn't until you hit the halfway point in life that the gullible begin to realize they're being played for fools.
