Term limits are the answer

Republican, Democrat or independent makes no difference. We are all frustrated with how many of our elected officials conduct themselves. Seems like once they get elected, they immediately begin to run for re-election! I think most are well-meaning, but the system seems to have gotten more complicated than our Founding Fathers envisioned. So how about term limits on all elected officials — both state and federal? Three terms for House members and two terms for Senate members.
What can you do? Go to www.termlimits.org to get more information. I know it seems daunting, but lets all get started!
