A Voters Bill of Rights

 Stefanik remains silent on Santos, rallies GOP for unity. House majority conference chair aims for "disciplined, unified" message from Republicans (Times Union). YA KNOW WHAT I WANT…I want a voter's Bill of Rights. A Bill of Rights as in, NO candidate can run for office, until his or her resume has been submitted and fact-checked by Non-Partisan Tax Payers.  I want a law that states, that to run for office and lie about your education qualifications, work experience DISQUALIFIES your candidacy. It matters not to me, what your education level may, be and it matters not to me, your accomplishments, or not, BUT IT DOES MATTER TO ME, that you be honest about yourself, and permit me the voter to decide if I want to vote for you based on your honesty, integrity, and commitment to the law!

 

Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema is changing her party affiliation to independent, delivering a jolt to Democrats’ narrow majority and Washington along with it. (POLITICO). YA KNOW WHAT I WANT…I want a voter's Bill of Rights. A Bill of Rights as in NO you may not change Party affiliation once you have been elected to represent the Political Party from which you ran for election, and won your seat. I want a law that says, you POLITICIAN were elected because you stated clearly, which political party you embraced. You were elected because we the voter thought you understood your obligation to represent us, as a candidate from one party or another. A law that states DUDE, who the fuck do you think you are to screw with your Electorate because once you were elected this change might promote only you and your selfish interests.

 

Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) — 47 years, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) — 41 years, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) — 37 years, Rep. Hal Rogers (R-KY-05) — 41-year, Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ-04) — 41 years The average age of members of Congress skews older than the average age of most Americans, with the average American being 20 years younger than their representative in Congress. As of 2015, 19 percent of Americans eligible to run for Congress are 65 or older. With Congress meant to reflect the diversity (including age) of the United States population, it’s notable that 40 percent of current senators and 26 percent of representatives are 65 or older. Less than 5 percent of members of Congress are between the ages of 25 and 40, despite the fact that 33 percent of the over-25 population in the U.S. are under 40 years of age. (Quorum) YA KNOW WHAT I WANT…I want a voter's Bill of Rights. A Bill of Rights as in since Congress established Term Limitations for the President, for fear that once in office he (or hopefully one day she), might never leave office and become too much an authoritarian, dictator, or Monarch; that those who pretend to decide the welfare of the nation, take a closer look at their own selfish behaviors and career manifestations, and apply the same to terms to themselves. Seems we have a class of Americans within Congress acting like Political Royalty
