Term Limits

Why Is This Idea Important?: Our lawmakers and goventment representatives need to be accountable to we the people in their local areas, not lobbyists and fundraisers. Term limits would bring new fresh energetic and unowned representatives.

Lets stop the career politicians and get back to representative government.

    Sounds good on the surface but how can representative government work when only the rick can afford the luxery of participation in such a government. One has to make a living.

    One of the big issues I see with elected officials is campaign contributions. Gaining political office is very expensive. The last presidential election (2008) cost the winner well over $500 million dollars. Where did that money come from?

    Our politicians owe their benefactors upon entering office. Who will they be loyal to - "We the People", or "money talks". Can not get elected or re-elected without lots of cash.

    This cycle must be broken before we can even hope for real representative government.
