Sounds like we just fixed all the world's problems.

except there's no incentive by the lawmakers to pass a term limits law

especially if you repeal the 17th

What I mean is we need to repeal the 17th Amendment and return to how Senators used to be chosen. If we do that, then there won't be a need to place term limits on Senators. But I do think we need to place term limits on Congressmen. To learn more about this topic click this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUOGdBgeB14

And by the way, before the 17th Amendment, the Senators were chosen by the state legislatures, because the Senate was designed to represent the state governments. But the 17th Amendment changed that. Now Senators are chosen directly by the people of each state.

May I ask what's wrong with by the people for the people??

actually, no, I have a better question. What state do you live in, and which senator did you get that you don't like??

I live in Texas. My issue is not which Senators I have, because I like Ted Cruz. My issue is that the House of Representatives represent the people, and the Senate represent the states. That's why Texas has 36 Congressmen and only 2 Senators, and why Wyoming has 2 Congressmen, and also only has 2 Senators.

the senate is meant to make sure that the states with smaller populations get a chance at equal representation in congress

it's a balance to keep states like california from controlling everything

If there are any Patrons reading this conversation, please ask Matt and Blonde what they think.

The other Senator from Texas, by the way, is John Cornyn, but I don't really know much about him.

No....unfortunately there are 535 congresspeople, and most people in the country can only name 10 of them, including their own

there's a reason the news only focuses on 14 congresspeople. Those are the ones making all the legislation

There's not much to know about Cornyn. He's been a senator since 2002, but he doesn't really do a whole lot.

He's an establishment type.

^Good, build it

How do I know they're ready to take my call?

in the roll call section, they go through the list of people who have checked in, they start with patreon callers (those who have the orange name) and then they get to non-patreon calllers after that

i see

Thanks for explaining that. I'm pretty new to this.

so we just have to be voice connected and unmutued?

yeah

🆙 | **J Edgar leveled up!**

no problem, so once thoughtsandblogs is up it will start with the non patreon callers

@J Edgar how the hell do i level up lol

i don't know. Hell, I don't even know how I did

@Zirglehopz so how do we know if they're calling on us if the show is on delay?

you'll know because they will pull you into their private call room

Oooh

There's a #fakenews scandal I am trying to expose. If I can't wait all the way what's the best way to share the story with Matt and Blonde?

Does he have an email I can write to?

matt has an email, [email protected]

🆙 | **Zirglehopz leveled up!**

omg

i just leveled up

either that or shoot him a tweet

@Zirglehopz which one is he more prone to answering?

i can do both, but it's easier for me to watch my email at work.
