Sorry, as disgruntled as I am, I prefer the Constitutional Republic we have to your more pure form of democracy. There is a reason why the founders gave us a Republic and NOT a democracy. Democracy without any republican (small r) constraints leads to law determined by mob rule and tryanny sanctioned by the mob, without legal recourse.

I believe voters have all the "term limits" leverage they need - vote for someone else.

"I believe voters have all the "term limits" leverage they need - vote for someone else."

Do you believe, the founding fathers envisioned the political, campaigning, lobbyist, deal-cutting fiasco that we have today?
