The goal is to get an Article 5 Convention for Term Limits. But, once we achieve this MONUMENTAL GOAL, the next step is deciding what the Limits should be. There are some factors that MUST be included in the decision and some are being ignored. This is a GOTTA WATCH video for ALL who support Term Limits for US Congress.

Corporations, Special Interest Groups, & Foreign Countries dump over $3.2 BILLION annually into Lobbying Congress! The result is like "kids in a candy store." The temptation builds and eventually the odds are they will start eating the candy.
There are 3 reasons State Legislators support the idea of adding a Term Limits for US Congress Amendment to the US Constitution.
1- An opportunity to replace a Senator who is representing the Party instead of the State rather than having to wait 30 or 40 years to have State representation in the US Senate. 2- Career Opportunity. Many would like to eventually move into the US Congress, but with Congress members sitting in Congress for 30 or 40 years, they never have a chance. 3- Levels the playing field. Seniority Equals Authority in Congress, so a state that keeps re-electing a Senator, even if a small State, has more power than other larger States in deciding votes and committees in Congress. Good news! Since the making of this video, another State, West Virginia, has passed an application for an Article 5 Convention for Term Limits for US Congress.
Take a minute and watch this video. Not only does it discuss how many States have applied for an Article 5 Convention for Term Limits, but it explains why ALL the States that have applied cannot be added together towards the 34 needed. |
