    Individual bills with no earmarks!!! 🇺🇸

      Why? Literally never been done that way before

    • @kevinharrah2260
      @kevinharrah2260 3 месяца назад

      Because it NEEDS to be done. Individually it keeps compromises from having to be made in order to get things done effectively. Ear marks just take up time for agreements, influenced by political standing, so on and so forth. Creates a bunch of unnecessary B.S for each topic at hand. Prevents wasteful spending @@MikeW-dz7ij

      It doesn't matter, this should be the least of your worries. The America you once knew is about to take a turn on the road to no return. The 10 or 20 million who invaded our country haven't come here to have a 4th of July celebration but to help to dismantle and destroy our beloved America, soon to go into history and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out.

      @@youngatheart-rq6ic I respectfully disagree. The RINOS are supporting Biden immigration by funding it. If you fund the government bureaucrats you are giving them “life” and power. We the people have 2 primary tools, our vote and our money. You can give up and say it’s too late. I will not and fight for my children and grandchildren.

      @@tedolsen6251 Does anyone actually believe that they will allow Trump to be President. They already prove they can rig elections not only in 20 but also in 22 and again with the Steve Garvey primary and absolutely nobody was even able to get cases of election fraud heard let alone prosecuted. If and this is a big if they even hold an election in 2024. after all they did not allow the 10 million plus invasion for no reason at all. Biden certainly allowed it to happen but why did it take over 3 yrs for Texas to do something, the GOP held the house for 2 yrs and did absolutely nothing, they could have forced the closure by shutting down the government until the border was closed, they didn't. They did put on a show and wasted time and allow millions more to invade while they impeached Alejandro N. Mayorkas, which means absolutely nothing.

    Vote out career politicians. Term limits on the senate and congress. These relationships with big bizz is inappropriate to the American people. The government can't serve two masters. Industry should not have a voice in our elections. Limit PACs contributions to elections. Grass roots is the ONLY way to fund a campaign.
