Congressional Reform Act of 2010

1. Term Limits: 12 years only, one of the possible options below.

A. Two Six year Senate terms
B. Six Two year House terms
C. One Six year Senate term and three Two Year House terms

... snip of other good stuff

Yep. Serving in Congress as a career has resulted in a certain group of
people who view their position in leadership as an entitlement and with the
viewpoint that they are our ruling aristocracy. That was never intended.
As someone pointed out in another forum, the founders were brilliant, but
they weren't perfect -- enacting term limits would be in keeping with their
intent.


We tried that once and the fu^H^Hdickheads overturned our will. That
should have been the day of reckoning for them, don't you think?
