Two things that I think we should have binding National Referendums on - frankly, because Congress can't be trusted to do the right thing: 1. Term Limits on the House and Senate. 2. A requirement to Balance The Budget.

For Congress, 5 years is the minimum to vest in a lifetime pension. 5 years, isn't that nice? For them.

We need to have an honest conversation about and consensus on what Social Security is. It is billed as a retirement savings type plan, which is a lie, and believing the lie impedes a real solution.
Question; should a boomer whoโ€™s worth 100 million dollars really be collecting social security? Answer; thatโ€™s none of my damn business. I donโ€™t get to decide what people do with their hard earned money.

When Senators and Congressional Reps "serve" in Congress for 30 - 40 yrs, they lose all perspective of what life is like for normal people. Their friendships and personal circles shift away from their districts - to their new Rich "friends" (donors and lobbyists) in DC who always have lots of money to spend on them. REALLY REALLY Need TERM LIMITS!!

The Islamic takeover of France youโ€™re seeing unfold today as Muslims burn France to the ground is what you will see happen here in the US if the Democrats win the midterms. People better wake up.

We canโ€™t let them keep killing OUR wild horses and burros. @ABC @CBSNews @NBCNews @FoxNews @nypost
This is urgent. Something unconscionable is happening, though we are sadly not surprised. A draft resolution in Wyoming is asking Congress to allow the killing of healthy, unadopted wild horses and burros. Read that again, please. As reported by Wyoming Public Media, this proposal seeks to dismantle federal protections, and the language is chilling. This draft asks Congress to allow anyone to use helicopters or motor vehicles to capture or kill wild horses and burros, and further, to restore funding for horse slaughter inspections or allow states to fund them. That could reopen the door to domestic horse slaughter, which we firmly believe Americans will not allow to happen. It's important to note - this is still a proposal. But that also means NOW is the time to speak up. Not tomorrow, immediately TODAY given this is unfolding in real time. As you've seen through our work, and our documentary WILD BEAUTY, our wild horses continue to be blamed for the destruction of our public lands. Yet a PEER analysis of BLMโ€™s own land-health data found livestock grazing solely responsible for more than two-thirds of acreage failing the agencyโ€™s standards. Wild horses alone accounted for less than 1%. These horses deserve better than to be scapegoated, stripped of protections, and killed. At The Wild Beauty Foundation, we will continue fighting for their lives. Please, raise your voice, and stand with us. Call the Capitol switchboard TODAY: 202-224-3121. Ask to speak with your Senators and Representative, and urge them to: - Reject all efforts to authorize the killing or slaughter of wild horses and burros. - Pass the SAFE Act (H.R. 1661 / S. 775). - Preserve horse-protection language in the transportation bill, and advance the Van Drew-Titus amendment. Follow your call with a written message, which you can do in moments through losthorses.org/take-action Share this post, and the Lost Horses content to build awareness in the community. Ask someone you love to make the call, too. Thank you for being part of this journey, and for standing with the Lost Horses. #TheLostHorses #IStandWithWildHorses #SAFEAct

Thune doubts the SAVE Act can pass. ๐Ÿ™„ Then what exactly are we paying you for, Senator? Proof of citizenship to vote shouldn't be controversial. Do your job or step aside. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

If we hold the Senate majority in November and donโ€™t fire @LeaderJohnThune, nothing changes. He will continue to block Trumpโ€™s and the American peopleโ€™s agenda. Fire John Thune and start winning, or keep him and lose.

Sec Burgum, the B.L.M. tells the public that slaughter is off the table, but they're doing it in plain sight using third parties. There are simple steps the bureau could take to end this, but they are turning a blind eye and wild horses & burros suffer.
