The Senate is cramming several different subjects (Agriculture, Transportation, Commerce, Justice) into one giant spending bill that will cost the typical family $2,900.
I DO NOT CONSENT!
There’s little to nothing in the Constitution that authorizes your micromanagement of these issues. Instead of funding these departments, you should abolish most of them.
Moreover, the more subjects there are in a bill, the longer and more complicated it becomes. It also opens the door for…
* secret deals
* pork
* and unjust laws
Keep bills simple, short, and transparent. Fund every department or agency with its own bill. Passing the One Subject at a Time Act would make that the law.
The One Subject at a Time Act also provides my neighbors and I with protection from criminal or civil charges, where your colleagues violate that law. In other words, if you pass a law that breaks the One Subject law, I can’t be punished for ignoring your illegally passed legislation.
I deny consent to any more legislation that violates the requirements of the One Subject at a Time Act. And you should too.
