YOU HELPED MAKE HISTORY! Thanks to your hard work and support, Florida is officially the first state in America to call for the Term Limits Convention. The Florida Senate passed HM 417 today by a unanimous voice vote, and in doing so sent a powerful message to the Washington elite: “Enough is Enough!”
The Term Limits Convention will be triggered when two-thirds of the states (34 total) have made this commitment. It will have the ability to propose a constitutional amendment to term limit Congress once and for all.
As the bill made its committee stops in the Florida, state legislators constantly remarked on the high volume of calls and emails they had received about it. Translation: your energy and activism had a huge impact.
It couldn’t have been done without active support from the citizens of Florida and around the country.
This campaign is more than one state, though. It is a nationwide grassroots movement to take back our Congress from career politicians. This momentum coming out of Florida will help propel the bills proposed in Alabama, Alaska, Missouri, South Carolina and Tennessee. We expect to have Convention bills filed over the next few weeks in Colorado, Georgia, West Virginia, Louisiana, Michigan, and Utah.
We know we can count on you as we go forward with this to deliver congressional term limits to the American people.
