Congressional Term Limits
The United States Congress was never intended to be a career move, a position where you go and build an entrenchment. Congress was designed to give ordinary citizens like you and I, an opportunity to be part of the decision making process of the United States Congress.
Why does Congress need term limits?
Entrenched power
Members of Congress literally spend the entirety of their term running for their next term, thus their focus is on fundraising, not service.
Their position on any issue is pre-determined by party leaders.
They can stay in power unchallenged for years by using politically palatable catch phrases to appease their base of support.
Hidden agendas
Partisan leaders serve their party. At few times during a partisan members' term will he or she serve all of the voters of the United States.
Yesterday's vote to expel former Republican Congressman Ron Santos is a clear example of the hidden agendas and why they are so dangerous.
Dark money
This lack of transparency threatens the integrity of our political process and opens the door for dangerous disinformation campaigns.
It also erodes the public's faith that our elected leaders will do what's right, what is in the best interests of the American people.
Profiteering
Congress literally has a blank check on the American people's check book. Without sound accounting processes, a fiscally conservative approach to spending as well as checks and balances with teeth, we have a clear recipe for fiscal disaster. Having no safeguards in place creates a feeding place for profiteering.
The only answer...
Demand that Congress immediately pass term limits. An in-depth study finds that five-in-six Americans favor a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on Members of Congress.

"Career Politicians have given us an out-of-control federal government. The only way to gain control over our bloated and intrusive federal government is Term Limits. Term Limits encourage greater citizen participation in government - by ensuring regular turnover in congressional seats."
