“It’s an incredibly naked admission that Members of Congress abuse the franking privilege for electoral purposes, even though the rules say they don’t,” said Pete Sepp, spokesman for the National Taxpayers Union. “This sends the worst possible message not only to the taxpayers, but to the electoral system as a whole.”

The system will fail from the corruption in DC.

What congresscritter will create the term limit bill? Who will sign on as co-sponsors? Who will submit the bill for a vote? Not Pelosi or Reid.

“In an election year the expenditures increase and then decrease in a non-election year,” the request reads.

That's because of misappropriation of funds. The culture of corruption.

It is a violation of office to send election materials from your office.
