I say it is time to demand " Term Limits " and the shutting down of the " Super PACs and stronger lobbying laws " The only way to get this past any elected official is to grandfate

I say it is time to demand "Term Limits" and the shutting down of the "Super PACs and stronger lobbying laws" The only way to get this past any elected official is to grandfater those already in office so they won't be voting themselves out of a job. Then a real push to get rid of the "Super PACs and lobby laws," as they have made such a disgrace of our country. Thinking like a date on the "March 14th the Ides of march" for a mass e-Mail, snail mail, and phone in to get our points across. Another option would be petitions sent by a committee from each state to do this. Any thougths? Those elected to a political office were never meant to be there for 20,30, 40, or 50 years as a career. These jobs were to be a service to our cuntry and not for personal gain and a long term career. |

I agree we need to do something rather than than just talk amongst ourselves, you have some great ideas that we need to pursue.

They don't consider us dumb as much as they consider us disorganized. And they think we could never put our differences aside and unite to demand term limits in order to get rid of all their sorry butts. We spend a lot of time arguing among ourselves as these post show when we should be uniting for a common cause we all believe in. In Response to Re: TERM LIMITS, SHUT DOWN SUPER PACS, STRONGER LOBBYING LAWS: i agree with everything you say but can we, American people, demand anything. Look at some news they fed us. They consider us DUMB. Posted by Astra2012 |

The Libertarian Party, Green Party, Justice Party and Constitution Party Presidential Candidates all wanted term limits. None of these parties has a super pac. They are all "grass roots" supported. They were all suppressed throughout the election, by the big two parties. You will never see a change in our government, if you continue to elect the two parties that do not want change. I know many of the readers of these forums are probably getting tired of reading my posts for the Libertarians, but one thing we must agree on is, WE have to make things change. Continuing to vote for the two party system is continuing to produce failure. |
