Description:

There's only one way to even begin to change our corrupt, "good ole boy" government; term limits for Representatives and Senators.  And the only way to do that is to elect Representatives and Senators who will vote yes to make it law.  We need a grass roots campaign for Term Limits, and insist our elected officials go back to the days of public service, not political careers.  They've been buddied up to lobbyists and their fellow lifers for so long, they have forgotten the intention of our founding fathers.   Lifer politicians have lived in Washington DC for so  long, they have forgotten how to represent the people.  Absolute power corrupts absolutely.  Let's tell 'em to do their time in public service, then come home and go to work like the rest of us.

Forum Discussion for Term Limits for US Congressmen & Senators

We lost our effective speaker of the house when a jerk started this idea of term limits. He has been in office ever since and refuses to abide by the law he started on term limits. He is also lousy as a rep for us or the usa. The guy just wanted the power and none of the work and it hurt our state from the day he took office.
