No one should be a senator for over 40 years. Liberal or conservative. Term limits or repeal the 17th!
>>Term limits
Broken promise by Cong. Martin "T-For-Taliban" Meehan
(D-MA), or "Andy Meehan" as Ted once introduced him:
He'd only serve 4 2-year terms. He PROMISED.
From 1999: "U.S. Term Limits, dedicated to the proposition that no member of the U.S. House should serve more than eight years, is buying up cable television time in Meehan's 5th Congressional District. The group is running a 30-second attack ad bashing Meehan's decision to abandon his self-imposed four-term pledge and launch a campaign for a fifth term. To make their point, producers dug up old file footage of Meehan railing against "career politicians in Washington." That was in 1992 during Meehan's campaign against incumbent Chester Atkins. Meehan took the four-term pledge and won. In 1995, he went so far as to write a "letter of resignation" instructing the House clerk to remove his name from the congressional record if he won a fifth term."
He's still in office.
Restore state representation in the federal government
