On December 21, Senator Dan Hughes of Venago gave his constituents a gift of coal for Christmas and stiff-armed President Trump's efforts to reform Washington D.C.
Senator Hughes published a column in the McCook Gazette and on his Legislature Home Page that lays out his reasons for opposing Legislative Resolution 6 (LR6).
The Senator uses the same words Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell uses when he says that we already have term limits and they are called elections. As former Senator Jim DeMint says in the PragerU video “How the States Can Save America,” it's funny how those in Congress for 20-30 years don't support term limits.
It's very sad to see Senator Hughes is so out of touch with America. Multiple polls show a super-majority of American's want term limits on Congress.
Senator Hughes also uses the George Soros and Common Cause Nebraska tactic known as the “runaway convention,” in order to oppose LR6.
Regrettably Senator Hughes appears to be avoiding his constituents to listen to their thoughts on LR6. In his column Senator Hughes indicates he couldn't make a town hall in McCook. Convention of States Nebraska never received a response to our RSVP for the meeting from the Senator or his staff.
Because Senator Hughes seems to be misinformed about LR6, our local District Captain attempted to set up a meeting for our Regional Director and a constituent to help the Senator learn more about the Constitution and Article V.
Again we received no answer from the Senator or his staff.
While Senator Hughes didn't have time to meet with us he did have time to write a column in opposition.
Please let Senator Hughes know how you feel about his Mitch McConnell big government tactics and send him a message at this link. Ask Senator Hughes to support LR6.
