[Campaigns-l] Congressional Term Limits

[Nelson Walker]

It is a mystery to me that, in all the new 'good government' websites (like
wikia) that I come across, I never find any that stress the fact that, in
order to effect REAL reform, it is necessary to have a legislature made up
of 'citizen' legislators, rather than the current crop of careerist
professional politicians. ( tenurecorrupts.com/#americasfirst )

And to eliminate professional politicians, it is necessary to change
politics from being a livelihood or career, to merely a civic duty, where
one will try to change government for the better during a short stay, then
return to private practice. That's the way it was for the first 150 years of
our history, before the enticements of politics became too good to give up.
( tenurecorrupts.com/#followthemoney )

Politics as a livelihood, or a career, is a fundamental conflict of
interest. When you are supposed to be a representative of the people,
putting their interest, or the country's interest before your own, then you
cannot honestly be in a position to be concerned about your job (or your
reelection). ( tenurecorrupts.com/#reelections )

i come to wikia in an attempt to correct this void in our ongoing dialog. I
strongly believe that to improve our government, we must change the
character of our Congress, and the most direct way to do that is to enact
Congressional Term Limits.

Toward this end, I have for the past 2 years been building
tenurecorrupts.com, a website dedicated to educating the voting public on
the need for such limits. The site contains arguments (pro and con),
amendment wording options, links to other sites, suggested actions you can
take to help, etc. The site blog list has accumulated over two dozen
articles on this one subject. ( Boring ?)

Recently, it has begun offering free term limits bumperstickers to all
comers.

I would very much like to have the wikia crowd join me in discussions to
exercise this idea, and to help spread the word !

No politician should be allowed unlimited reelections... even if he has the
votes!
Remember..TENURE CORRUPTS!
