Thanks but no thanks. The last thing we need is for congress to turn out like California where there are term limits.

Can you say.....Willie Brown? Over thirty years in the California Legislature....one of the most corrupt individuals to have ever served......now gone!

Just think.....if Republicans had instituted term limits (1994) we would not now have a Nancy Pelosi to deal with....a Steny Hoyer or a Jack Murtha. Yes, we would also be rid of useless Republican parasites to boot!

Inexperienced senators just increase the power of lobbyists to manipulate them and they are too weak to be able to make a stand.

Balderdash! If there's one thing this Republic needs.... it's a constant, frequent flushing of the centers of power. Politicians are much like diapers. Both need to be changed often.....and for the same reason.

Lobbyists are more easily controlled by folks who are not beholding. Boy.....do you have your head screwed on wrong!

It takes a constitutional amendment for congressional term limits. Something that will never happen. The American people would rather be communist than require that their own members be limited.
