Wow, here is something I am hearing from all age groups. Term limits, especially the over 55 crowd, um remember them, they are moms and dads and grandparents now...the moderate conservatives...! This is nothing new to the 35-50's group. Oh and the last vote for Obama covered the "age-of-awakening" group, the 20 something voter group.
Now imagine if there were term limits?
50 Senators would only be able to be in the senate for 12 years. So they will only have tax payer health insurance for 12 years, tax payer gyms, reduced pricing in taxpayer cafeterias, tax payer second homes, travel expenses....tax payer, tax payer, tax payer...oh the list goes on and on...oh I can not forget...an INCREASE in their base pay along with increases for staff during the "Greatest Recession" of our time. And as of this posting our unemployment rate is over 10%.
And what about the House of Reps?....the same goes for them. Term Limits!
Oh and the lobbyists, imagine how much money they would have to spend every so many years, knowing..."no one" is a sure thing! Lobbyists..that's another blog posting...lol...
Too many in Washington have the power to do as they please....not what American citizens deserve.
So I have to, um hummm....give credit where credit is due....to Sen Jim DeMint, R-SC for proposing an amendment to the constitution on term limits.
It's time for change America, no Rep. or Senator should be amassing their wealth and power for personal use.
As Americans lets make sure our elected Officails on ANY level know they are replaceable with TERM LIMITS!
And for all of those that believe they are "Irreplaceable" please watch Beyonce clear it up for ya' all>!!!

..term limits would open up the political field to very bright people that do not have to compete with a 4, 5, 6 term person with a huge war chest and in the pocket to the large interests..jazzman
