Term Limits
I am tired of government treating the American citizen like children – meant to be led around by the truths and lies they throw at us, under the guise that they represent our better good. The only good they represent is their own, and it is time we take our country back. And no, before some of my friends get off on the wrong leg, I am not advocating a change in the tax laws or getting into that argument. I am simply saying that I am under the firm belief that we need to reinforce the original declaration of “By the People, for the People.”
As long as we put the question of term limits up to the people that are going to be be affected by the change, (the politicians) we are going to get nowhere. http://www.ustl.org/blog.html The topic will be swept under the rug yuntil the next election and it will again be too late for people to weigh the facts.
Therefore, I am going to advocate that we apply the fastest and simplest method of doing this, which is by our vote. Not a vote in the sense of the vote as we have done it before, but one that is outside of the box. As far as I know, a judge cannot dictate how we vote, http://www-tech.mit.edu/V114/N5/terms.05w.html like they can by ruling term limits unconstitutional. Nor can any government agency. Therefore my suggestions should work.
Today it will not matter what political affiliation you are. Today the only concern is that you are a legal voter (no undocumented aliens) and that you too feel that as a US citizen, we are being controlled and manipulated in order to line the pockets and fulfill the personal agenda of those who we elected.
If you are, then I propose that we vote them – pick an incumbent name you like – out of government by simply voting for the candidate who is NOT an incumbent. This solution is simple. (do you think maybe too simple?)
If you alays vote along party lines, then OK. If the incumbent is a republican and you are a republican, then vote for the republican candidate seeking to take over. Democrat – vice versus. It does not matter what the issues are or what the individual candidates stand for, so long as it is good government and they are not incumbent.
Whoever is in the current seat goes home, and the newly elected person comes in - with our blessing and a clear set of demands – from us, the citizens they has been contracted to represent. It does not matter what their positions are, for the truth of the matter is their first task should be to clean up congress, lower the deficit, and jointly – support and advise the president. We will deal with the issues of the war as well, but that is up for a different article. All the newly elected congressmen and senators have no political axes to grind - so they should get along well in the beginning, and perhaps this will lead to solutions instead of cross lines political bickering.
If he/she does not do that or accomplish the tasks set out for them, then they are voted out at the end of his term, (or impeached) and we do it again. If they don’t come to the table stating their ability to be able to follow that direction, then they are not considered candidates. We would do the same if we owned stock in a company and we were being handed another Enron package. Well folks, our current government is one giant Enron and we need to take back control.
Congress will not vote for congressional term limits – it weakens them - but we can. By limits, I mean two 2 year terms – max – if we let them. And stop handing me the argument that it takes more then two terms to get some measures passed through both house and senate. If you were running a million dollar company, that tired argument would get your term of presidency - terminated. It's BS and we know it.

As you can see by this list, we are creating political dynasty's resulting in much more opportunity to gain financially through the lobbying by big business, instead of the legislative officials we voted for and who work for us.
