EP#8 | BONUS | Closure on Term Limits: She's 90. Come On. Part III:

from Deep Shallow Dive · host Ray Doustdar

🎙️ Deep/Shallow Dive Podcast | Episode #8: Title: "Term Limits: The Imperative for Change in Congress (Part III)" Introduction: Ok, we thought we called a Spade a Spade in the last Episode #7, but the feedback that came in definitely showed that not everyone is there yet in embracing our desire to truly use the Lens of common sense for all this. In this eye-opening Part III of our series on congressional term limits, RayD boldly confronts a stark reality, one that leaves no room for partisan politics. Join us as we dive headfirst into an issue that demands unwavering attention: the undeniable imperative for change in Congress. Confronting Reluctance: This episode sheds a harsh light on the reluctance of some, particularly within the Democratic camp, to acknowledge the pressing need for Senator Dianne Feinstein's retirement. RayD dissects this glaring inconsistency, underscoring the critical necessity for fresh perspectives while leaving no stone unturned, including Senator Feinstein's controversial decision to grant power of attorney to her daughter, as well as basically being told how to Vote in a $832 Billion Military Budget Bill that was on the floor of the Senate. She was told to 'just vote aye'. Come on. Calling a Spade a Spade: It's time to call a spade a spade, and this episode leaves no room for equivocation. Regardless of your political leanings, RayD again challenges you to recognize that the urgency for new voices in Congress extends far beyond party affiliations. Tune in to confront the unvarnished truth and join the call for a dynamic and responsive political landscape that puts the interests of the people first through the simple yet powerful solution of term limits.
