The worthless, do nothing, know nothing, Communist Rat Party is pushing for absolute irrelevance. I say give it to them.

The problem with all of these elected officials is the fact many of them have been in Washington, D.C. way too long. They do not think they are answerable to the will of the people even though they are democratically elected by the people. This is the problem when we have career politicians and people don't exercise their Constitutional right to enforce term limits when they vote. This is why it is time to seriously push for term limits. Term limits will put an end to the lobbyist strong hold on the elected officials. Without a doubt, it is something to think about but it won't take place until people are really fed up and ready for a change. We don't have to depend on Congress because three-fourths of the states can call a Constitutional Convention to pass any amendment the people so desire as long as two-thirds ratify. So, actually it is up to the people in the states.
