The most important issue for me is for the house and senate |
|
to set term limits. I am tired of incumbant assholes who only reward comittees to senior members. They need to have 2 terms and get the hell out.

1. I can see both sides of the issue |
|
but tend to want to stay with the current system adding public financing of the elections. We certainly need more people participating in both the process (candidates) and voters.

I think that's more important than term limits.
And, if our Congressional districts were drawn by a non-partisan committee, you would have competitive races and wouldn't necessarily need term limits.

4. Term limits will NOT solve the problem |
|
The only way to solve this is to get the corporate money out of politics. Public financing of campaigns is the only answer.

5. Why not? May it be that more Americans have a chance to do |
|
something good for their country. Could you imagine electing people who were normal. why give them so much power and privelege? How many secrets are staying within those comittees of long time elected officials? Senator Pelosi new about the NSA spy program.. Throw the incumbants out... they are career crooks of the select ellite in America. They are not going to do anything for you.. They feel more like Harris has said outloud (we are loyal subjects of their reign)... reform finance, do whatever.. but I can tell you if I ran... I don't have a damn thing to hide. I don't have lots of money, powerful lobbying friends, distractions, or give a damn about some trip to somewhere when I am there to do a job.
Its time to limit these jekylls who are raping this country... Who give tax breaks to corporate companies to rape the natural resources off its lands and sell them back to us at profit. No, its the other way around. They owe us for our resources. America is ours. Its mine, its yours, its all the people's. Wake up people... they are stealing your resources, polluting your waters, bulldozing your land, damning your rivers, stripping your mines, cutting your trees, buying your farm land, and sucking up your oil through pipelines. These are ours. They owe us for stealing them, not tax right offs. Wake up!!!!
