They need to recall McConnell. He just got re-elected. He will otherwise serve his 6 more years, then step down to a happy retirement.

Fuck that. Recall him. Strip him of all benefits.

Sasse as well. Senators need term limits.

How can we accomplish that? None of them will vote for such legislation.

I also think that the salary of a government official should be the medial salary in the US. They're not special to make so much more than everyone else.

These guys could make $0 and still leave Congress as millionaires. They get money from lobbyists and inside trading.

all we need is a petition and 2 million signatures , in a few weeks robert barnes and richard barriss will make a site so recalling them will be easier, if they arent in congress k street cant pay them , it also gives the lawyers the ability to get signature standards set as a precedent, if they ask for stricter standards, then why wasnt elections held to those standards, if they lower the bar makes it easier for third parties to exist and get on the ballots, either way its a win win

I know, but it would be a start.

They don't make their money from their salaries. You're not going after the right target: K Street.

The only way term limits are happening is an Article V constitutional convention.

I think their salaries should be benchmarked to social security and ss cost of living increases. If they were they would be making about 37,000 a year at this point.

How do you accomplish this when all of the voting machines are rigged?

Is it possible to recall a Senator? If so I want to get something like that started for my, snake in the grass, Senator Portman.

Recalls might work simply for the fact they MIGHT not use the normal voting aparatus. Otherwise if they do that will be pointless as well.
