My wife and ILooking at the House and Senate, it seems to me that the Swamp includes a number of ancient creatures who have been there for longer than most of us can remember. John Conyers Democrat, almost 53 years, he came into office before the Vietnam war realy took off, he started 1964. Thad Cochran Republican House and Senate almost 45 years and his fellow Republican in the House, also almost 45 years Don Young, these two have been in office since 1972. I have to wonder why they keep getting elected to the House and Senate, when they don’t seem to be able to accomplish anything.
Orrin Hatch, Republican almost 41 years, he of course along with his fellow Republicans in the Senate could not muster enough votes to rid us of Obama Care, wonder how they will do with Tax Reform. House and Senate combined Ed Markey Democrat, 41 years. If these are your representatives or senators, don’t you think it might be a good idea to put someone in office who might have some fresh ideas. These guys have been there so long they ave put down roots in the Swamp.
Professional politicians, they think that they are entitled to their seat in the government. They tell you one thing, and then vote another way, and come back during their multiple vacations, sorry, town hall meetings to get the pulse of their constitutents, when they really don’t even know who you are anymore. They live in mansions, they go to parties and hobnob with the “high and mighty”, they are wined and dined by lobbyists and they have become blind to what goes on in their home states. Mary Landrieu from Louisiana actually didn’t have a home in her district, she had a mansion in the D.C. area. Actually I think it was in Georgetown, along with the rest of the rich people. Your Senators and Congress persons, make more money for less work than 90 % of the population.
Jim Sensenbrenner, Republican, 38 years in the Senate, Richard Shelby, Democrat then Republican 38 years House and Senate. I could go on with this but I hope you are getting the point, The men and women who work for you and I, I would call this a joke but I’m not laughing, they set their own salaries and perks, they even get to insider trade legally.
The exempt themselves from the laws that you and I have to live under. It is high time we started a revolution, a peaceful one but one that will end this Professional Politician. It is time for Term LIMITS. Now the SCOTUS in cahoots with their buddies in the House and Senate, said that the Constitution set the parameters and States were not able to set the limits on their time in office. There is a way to take care of this however, our Constitution has a remedy. The States can begin a Constitutional Amendment process and each State passes the exact same bill limiting the amount of time each of the offices can be filled by the same person.
These people work for us, they are not our rulers, they serve only as long as we the people allow them to do so. Notice I said the SERVE, not rule! We need people who have read and understand our Constitution, who are willing to work under that Constitution, and return us to the Constitutional Republic that we were originally formed to be. The American dream is only as good as the people who understand it and work under it, those who have no clue about that document, are doomed to continue down the path of servitude without even realizing that they are serving the rulers.
