This election year has made it abundantly clear that corruption and deceit are rampant in our government.
The corruption occurs because of career politicians in our government.
Their corruption and power enables them to keep getting re-elected year after year.
This corruption is not limited to one political party but to all political parties.
Therefore I believe that we the people should take matters into our own hands and sign some of the petitions which are already in place to call for an amendment to our Constitution to require term limits on every senator and every congressperson.
Such a petition is already in place at www.termlimits.com.
I urge everyone to take a look at this petition and sign if you agree.
Congress’s approval rating is at 17 percent but they have a 95 percent chance of re-election.
Abuse of power allows them to ride roughshod or challenges to their re-election.
Help break this practice by signing petitions and writing to your legislators demanding that they submit or support bills to set term limits.
History shows that most major civilizations self-destructed in 300-400 years.
The U.S. is now about 245 years old.
Ask yourself, are we going to survive as a republic or will we be changed to a different philosophy?
I fervently urge each and every citizen to take action and insure our republic survives.
Make America last forever.
