John,​

For the first time in history, the House just voted on and passed a bill without a majority of members being present.

226 Republicans and Democrats voted "by proxy" on the $1.7 trillion spending bill.

Instead of going to work at the Capitol and reading and debating the bill . . .

. . . they allowed themselves the opportunity to vote by internet from home, from the ski slopes, from a beach in Jamaica, or wherever they happened to be the week before Christmas.

They know they can do whatever they want because Congress doesn't have term limits!

In just days, state legislatures will resume considering an amendment to bypass Congress and impose term limits on the U.S. House and Senate.

Please make an urgent end of year contribution to USTL's national grassroots effort to convince the states to call the Term Limits Convention and end this nonsense in D.C. once and for all. 

 

Congress has a 21% approval rating.

Yet on Election Day 97% of U.S. Representatives and U.S. Senators were reelected.

They are laughing at "We the People".

They know they don't even have to try to do their jobs and they will get reelected.

No matter which political party you support - if any - the careerists on Capitol Hill believe your vote doesn't really count.

They just passed one of the largest spending bills in American history without ever having read it and with virtually no debate.

They worked just a few days a week all year long, didn't bother to pass a real budget, and jammed everything they didn't do in the previous year into one massive mess of a bill and voted it through sight unseen just days before Christmas.

And a majority of House members didn't even show up to vote in person!

Our only hope to end this insanity is term limits.

That's why our state chairpersons, coordinators and volunteers are all ramping up for next week.

State legislatures will reconvene to consider the Term Limits Convention legislation -- and Congress can't stop them!

Please make the very best end of year contribution to fund the ads, media events, term limits literature and rally supplies we will need over the next few months.

Even $5 will help.

Republicans, Democrats and Independents all want term limits.

Over 80% of Americans know Congress is broken, and unlimited terms in office are destroying our country.

Just look at what is happening today.

These professional politicians care so little about their jobs, they don't even read the bills they vote on!

And in the House, members have been allowed to cast votes via the internet while they are off on vacation!

We need term limits.

And we have the strategy to bypass Congress and get them.

I just need your help.

Please, donate whatever you can today.

The fight to go around Congress and use the states to put term limits on the U.S. House and Senate begins again in just a matter of days.

I'm counting on you.

Philip Blumel
President
