25. I agree with Term Limits..

Sat Mar 1, 2014, 01:29 PM

Mar 2014

I have seen first hand what unlimited years in office

can and will do to an elected servant. Maybe someone new would be able to

be bought off and the next one groomed and paid for in every election after. IDK

Have we lost all [possibilities to find an honest, loyal, and of moral character candidate

to represent us in these privileged posts? If so what the heck are we doing even trying

now?

There is a large, very large populist movement growing, we are ripe for the picking

and we have had enough!!! If by the time the 2014 and 2016 elections are done, possible before, this Nation,

or maybe I should say the poorer among us, just will not make it.. They have squeezed the life from us already..

Now it's just the short slow death we wait for..
