The hook — as said out loud
Okay, so I took every issue that 80% of Americans agree on and I combined them all into one bill.
The script — as said out loud
Okay, so I took every issue that 80% of Americans agree on and I combined them all into one bill. Here's all 22 of the issues. Number one, end gerrymandering. Number two, ban Wall street from buying single family homes. Number three, ban congresspeople from becoming lobbyists. Number four, ban congresspeople from trading stocks. Number five, creating a minimum tax for billionaires. And number six, closing the loopholes that these billionaires would use to avoid that tax Congressional term limits. Number eight, ban dark money donations and political campaigns. Number nine, Universal paid family league. Number ten, ending forever wars by repealing authorization for the use of military force. That was passed after 911 and for some reason still exists. Number 11, release the full Epstein files with nothing redacted except for the information of the victims. Number 12, ban corporate pacts by overturning Citizens United. Number 13, mandatory disclosure for all organizations that donate to political campaigns. Number 14, mandatory police body cams. Number 15, banning junk fees. Number 16, allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices. Number 17, fully funding Social Security by extending the tax that already applies to most Americans to people who make more than $400,000 a year as well. 18, ban adversarial foreign nations from buying American farmland. Number 19, improving veterans healthcare access. Number 20, establishing common sense data privacy laws, the ones that already exist in most European countries. Number 21, enshrining the right to repair. Number 22, auditing the Pentagon and punishing them with a 0.5% reduction in their budget if they fail the audit. Now, keep in mind, every single one of these issues has above 80% support among Americans. Now, what I need you guys to do is go into the comments section of this video and tag your congressperson and let them know that you will not be voting for them unless they support this bill. You can also click on the link in my bio to join the thousands of people who've already signed this petition. Thank you for your time.
