Sen. McConnell's Long Absence Illustrates the Need for Term Limits
Sen. Mitch McConnell’s long absence from the Senate and lack of communication with his constituents illustrates a major problem with career politicians and Washington’s political system. Term limits are needed!
McConnell missed 60 Senate roll-call votes over roughly two months while recovering from an undisclosed health issue. He deserves sympathy for his health problems, but he still has a responsibility to communicate with Kentuckians and demonstrate that he can perform his duties.
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear asked McConnell to publicly update constituents about his health and, if unable to serve, resign. McConnell did not respond.

Our government is broken. 🔗
💥 Here at Convention of States, we have a solution as big as the problem.
An Article V Convention of States is called and controlled by the states and has the power to PROPOSE constitutional amendments.
These are our three simple goals: 👈
1. Limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government (including the president)
2. Limit the terms of office for federal officials
3. Limit the ability of Congress and the president to spend and waste our hard-earned money, via a Balanced Budget Amendment.
What can YOU do that TAKES LESS THAN 60 SECONDS? 👈
