There is so much wrong with the status-quo that it's difficult for the average American to wade through all the political banter and get to the facts. We're bombarded with distractions from both sides. Here are just a few of the issues distracting all of us (myself included) from what's *really* important right now:Nuclear Security
Supreme Court Judges
Don't Ask - Don't Tell
Unemployment
Wall Street Reform / Bailouts
Healthcare Reform
Deficit
Accountability
Chicago Politics in Washington
Navy Seals Under Fire in Court
Our Formerly Friendly Relationship with Israel
Iran
I could keep going, but you get the point.
No matter which of the above (or those not listed) you find personally most important and in need of change, could it be that we're hacking at the branches and neglecting the roots of our problems?
Healthcare is huge. We need good healthcare reform that works, provides opportunity to all Americans and does *not* bankrupt our country and that fosters independent will and responsibility, not dependence.
However, is that what we want to concentrate on, FIRST? I suggest not. I suggest that be item number 2. Friends, it is with humility that I suggest you vote (regardless of your party affiliation) only for congressional candidates this November that will run on a platform of establishing TERM LIMITS FOR CONGRESS as their Number 1 Priority. Everything else is secondary. It's time to put down some sacred cows and vote in Americans that will assure our future is with a truly representative government for posterity.
Should you need any proof for the need for term limits for Congress (and I don't think, my educated fair minded friends that you do) just look up some history on the 22nd amendment to the U.S. Constitution and Woodrow Wilson's presidency. All we're seeing today is the natural consequence of ignoring lessons learned from our history.
If it's good enough for the President of the United States, it's good enough for Congress.
