Some people oppose term limits, saying that "We already have limits, they are called elections!" OK, I say, let's use elections to do it. Simply NEVER REELECT anyone in Congress. Don't let anyone serve more than ONE term! That will get their attention!
We can get a citizen Congress and fresh ideas, and solutions, only AFTER we get rid of the career politicians in Congress. Career politicians will finally disappear when voters allow only one term in Congress. Is this too drastic a step? Got a better idea to accomplish real change? Well, a voter's gotta do what a voter's gotta do!
So how do we make "Change" happen in Congress? Simple! Just NEVER REELECT any Congressman or Senator. Never reelect ANYONE in Congress. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Throw the bums out afteronly one term!
And how do we make that happen? Simple! Always vote, in every election, but always vote for challengers . Never, never vote for incumbents. Regardless of promises, platforms, or who will have the majority. Remember, to get rid of the alligators, we must first drain the swamp!
If you don't have a challenger in your regular party, vote for the next best challenger in any other party. Even if you have to hold your nose while doing it. Just NEVER REELECT any incumbent Senator or Congressman. Never!
After 3 or 4 election cycles, when Congress notices that election turnout is UP, but reelection rates are DOWN, they'll get the message, and maybe give us term limits, just so that they can serve more than one term!
You can help us get a rejuvenated Congress by sending this message to all your friends and acquaintances. Frequently. (Repetition is the key!) We need everybody to vote in every election, BUT... they must always vote for challengers. Never vote for incumbents! No matter how much it hurts! NEVER REELECT anyone!
