Hello, I'm a life long conservative that was an army brat growing up during the Cold War & have spent my entire 30+ year adult life working in a small family business. While the values that have molded my beliefs are still very present I'm fed up. I'm s**k of democrats, liberals, republicans & conservatives. Both sides of the isle are liars & thieves. I'm s**k of seeing good people on both sides become whores to lobbyists & special interest. I truly believe term limits would make the difference. This is something we the people could achieve. No one should spend more than eight years in office at the state or fed level let alone 20 or 30. Sorry for the rant & glad to be here.

Glad you are here. I've been saying term limits would solve many of our problems on DC.

The preamble to the Constitution had term limits until the States ratified it our best chance at term limits is the Article 5 of the Constitution which is the Convention of States right now Georgia, Tennessee,Louisiana, Oklahoma are the only States to passed the legislation for the Convention of States I suggest you call your local representative and tell to tell his constituents and other State legislature's to pass it.That's the only way right now to get the federal government to know their place and put the power of the Constitution back in the people's hands
Welcome, Bspence, to OPP, and good luck with the simplistic solution of term limits. Such would simply alter the circumvention of the process of constitutional rule...much like writing new tax laws is always met with new tax loop-holes.
And, no, I don't have a solution other than good representatives.
