anyone interested in term limits???
Published Jul 31, 2007
Frustrated yet? Want to get rid of career politicians? We have the power, it's called our vote.
How do we start a grassroots campaign to teach people the power of their vote?
What will it take to get them to understand that voting for incumbents will get the same results, over and over again?

Yes Nancy, I'm with you on this one.... I saw an elderly man driving the other day & he had a great bumper sticker... It said "Re-Elect Nobody". I got his attention and gave a him a big Thumbs Up! He just smiled at me and turned his Buick into the ABC store. I should have stopped to shake his hand.

I would support a grassroots effort to force the legislature to redraw the voting districts based on some meaningful geographic boundaries, rather than the current gerrymandered system we have now that always favors the incumbents. There should also be strict limits on the number of years that any one person can serve as a committee chair, speaker, etc. That would have helped prevent the sort of controlling power that Jim Black had developed over the rest of the House. We, as voters, also need to abandon our blind political loyality to one party or another, and start voting for candidates based on other qualities, such as those who run cleaner campaigns or who refuse to accept large corporate donations.

Sure, some are already smooth politicians, but we can vote them out too when their FIRST term expires.
We have the power, we have got to find the will as a whole to send the bums running at our will.
