Term Limits

There is a problem with our governmental system that should be there but POLITIC got in the way of good government.

Now, instead of our congressmen and women working for us, their constituents - they work to get re-elected.  Why is that a problem - they don't vote in session for the good of their constituents; they vote because someone promised them more votes on election day, or some sort of pay back deal, or they did the ole "You vote for my bill and I'll vote for yours" even though it is not what the majority of the people of their representation want.

We put them in office to REPRESENT us, not to POLITIC for office!

We need TERM LIMITS!

With term limits, the politician (representative or senator) could focus on the bills and issues at hand - for their district, state or for the nation!  They wouldn't be worried about getting re-elected and they wouldn't be waisting precious and valuable time and effort doing things that aren't in our country's best interest.

I'm so sick of the politics.

I've often wanted to run for local office - I care about our community, state and country but I'm sorry to say I have never gone down that road because I wouldn't want the reputation of a POLITICIAN associated with me.

Everyone jokes about it, POLITICIANS are self-interested liars, thieves, and whatever else, and but the reason they joke about it ... is ... because we know deep down inside that it's true!

There are more nonsense laws out there then ever before.  There is more RED tape.  There are more dollars spent unnecessarily than ever before!  WHY ???

With term limits POLITICIANS could get back to the real reason they are in office - to REPRESENT their constituents.  What are our needs?  Do we have a balance budget?  Are we financially operating within the means of the budget?  What can we do to make the government more efficient, productive and cost effective.
