Term limits date back to our countries American Revolution. Why
As quoted by Thomas Jefferson, "to prevent every danger which might arise to American freedom by continuing too long in office the members of the Continental Congress".
Mercy Otis Warren also warned "there is no provision for a rotation, nor anything to prevent the perpetuity of office in the same hands for life; which by a little well timed bribery, will probably be done". Gee ya think
It baffles us here at Phil's Gang as to why most states keep voting for these same Senators over and over again And yet, that word timed bribery seems to fit in most cases of being re-elected over and over again when it is quite clear the people of those states can't stand their Senators! Hum...
Let a common citizen run for Senate and when their 6 years is up, that's it! No More!
We are asking if you feel the same way as we do. If so, then please sign our petition to introduce a new bill to place LIMIT the NUMBER of TERMS for all State and US Senators and Congressman and woman. Help us try and stop the run of the muck Senators from being allowed to keep re running for election of their same seats. Enough already!
Please sign only one time and by all means tell your friends and family about this petition!
Thank you for signatures and most of all your voice!
One thousand people have finally had enough of these career politicians clinging to their seats. The establishment is watching us now and they are going to feel the heat.

Term Limits, limit spending on a campaign so all parties are on equal financial ground. No lobbying positions can be held for 5 years AFTER leaving office.

Time to get people in congress that want to do what is good for our country and not make it a career.

Absoulutely, term limits for congress persons...if it`s good enough for the executive branch, Comrade NObama, it`s good enough for the legislative branch.
President Reagan`s budget director, David Stockman, offered a great solution to curb the corrupt politicians in Washington, when he said, `if the Securities & Exchange Commission had jurisdiction over the Executive & Legislative branches, many of us would be in jail. Amen.

Also, limit lobbyist's access to senators and create a half time senate. Create an ongoing site to force a monthly/yearly report on what each senator is doing, been a part of and what they have accomplished. What exactly are we paying them for. I don't know if six years is too short a time to be effective but only partial retirement and medical benefits. Stop the pork on unrelated bills. One plan per bill. Make them responsible!

This has to be done. Political office is a public service not a career. Two 4 year terms with NO benefits from us afterwards. They get plenty of "benefits" from the lobbyists. Same should hold true for the Supreme Court as well

God created all people equally. They can't jump off the planet. They need to work for a living too.
