Please join me from 2:30 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 3rd for a Cup of Joe with Joe in Schaumburg. This event is open to anyone and everyone, so come out and let me know what's on your mind! More information on tomorrow's event as well as other March events can be found below.
While in Washington this week, Congressman Berman and I sent a letter, co-signed by 52 members of Congress, to Attorney General Eric Holder urging him to uphold U.S. law and bring Palestinian terrorists who have killed and wounded Americans overseas to justice in American courts.
I decided to write this letter after hearing from representatives of American families that suffered from terrorist attacks overseas. These families were promised closure and justice when the Office of Justice for Victims of Overseas Terrorism was established, but their suffering continues as they wait for the Department of Justice to take action. These are American families, and the DOJ needs to stop neglecting its responsibility. Click here to see the letter sent to Attorney General Holder.
This Tuesday marked the 61st anniversary of the passage of Presidential term limits. I have continued to be outspoken on implementing Congressional term limits and co-authored legislation late last year that would limit how long a member of Congress can serve. I have pledged to serve only three terms in Congress.
Keeping the same Members year after year only feeds political corruption as politicians continue to lose touch with the people they were elected to represent. This anniversary is a great opportunity to bring up the need for term limits, and it is time to apply term limits to Congress.
Hope to see you in Schaumburg tomorrow!
