The career politicians in Washington think they own their seats forever. We are nearing a hundred signatures but these elites will ignore us unless we hit them with a wall of noise that they cannot possibly look away from.

I definitely support term limits. Hopefully if we use term limits the congress will do what’s in the best interest of the American people and not what’s in their best interest.

Long over due and needed to many career politicians in Government. They no longer serve the people only special interest groups to get themselves re-elected.

I support term limits and having Congressmen receive the same benefits that regular citizens receive. Our founding fathers did not expect politicians to make a career in government, to receive special benefits, nor to become wealthy doing it.

We need term limits so we can elect people into congress that better represent the diversity of our nation. Our Congress has done NOTHING to help the American people. They are self-serving and NEED TO GO.

we had a good Term Limits law here in Colorado in 1994, but the liberal supreme court threw it out as far as Federal offices; it works well with our state offices

Every one in America should sign this petition... We can expect elected professional politicians to limit themselves, they need to have limits imposed on them...

This should shift their attention to those they were elected to serve rather than focusing on getting re-elected.
