TERM LIMITS FOR CONGRESS

WHY IT’S TIME FOR TERM LIMITS
FOR CONGRESS

Imagine, if you will, a presidency that went on for ever.
Imagine Jimmy Carter still in office.
Imagine 16 MORE years of failed policies by George Bush.
Imagine one scandal after another still going on in the Whitehouse under Bill Clinton.

Just because someone is “electable” doesn’t mean that they are effective, competent and “working” in DC for our best interests.

It’s been too long that people in Congress have gone to Washington with the promise of “CHANGE” and the mission to “SERVE”.
Tragically, they get assimilated into the culture of greed, power, and the untouchable superstar syndrome. They lose all perspective as to what “ A BILLION DOLLARS” means. They lose all perspective for what the average Joe or hardworking farmers have to do to eek out a living.

I knew who Chris Dodd was when I attended the University of Connecticut in 1965-75. Chris is the son of Sen. Tom Dodd, who was the only Senator to be sanctioned in the 20th century.
Back in 1967 Knobby Walsh’s son, who was the owner of “Bidwell’s Tavern” in Coventry, CT, ran for a state representative seat in CT.
Tom Dodd’s cronies tried to buy him off so that his son, Chris (who had barely finished college) could get the seat.
Chris Dodd has never worked a real job in 41 years.

Al Gore has the same resume as does Mayor Daley in Chicago, whose father was instrumental in the violence at the 68 Chicago Convention when he was mayor.
Barney Frank’s (D) Mass roommate, “Spouse” ( his words) as he called him was the “guru” for formulating loans at Fannie Mae. He quit and opened up a pottery shop. He then left Frank. Another career DC insider.

Term limits for Representatives and Senators would insure that the “Public Servants” who are elected to congress and then stop caring to remember that they cared...once. get out of town before they get into your wallet.

Sen. Judd Gregg was a do nothing congressman in New Hampshire when I lived there. He bought into the system and ran for Governor and is now a Senator. He is another “career politician” that never worked a day in his life; but is living the high life in DC.

It always seems to be the usual suspects.
A national referendum is needed to change how things are done in Washington.
