Congress

Bill Passes House that Expands Americorps

In the 321 to 105 vote on March 18, 2009 the House voted to expand the AmeriCorps National Service organization. This bill will cost the taxpayer more than $1 billion per year for the next five years. AmeriCorps "volunteers" receive stipends for their work between $11,000 to $23,000 per year. Last time I checked, "volunteers" were not financially compensated.

Should there be term limits set in congress?

Term Limits is still known as the largest grassroots movement in American history, and US Term Limits (USTL) was, and still is, the leader of that movement. Term limits have been placed on 15 state legislatures, eight of the ten largest cities in America adopted term limits for their city councils and/or mayor, and 37 states place term limits on their constitutional officers.
