Nobody's EMail: Your Term is UP!
Nobody Gets Email--
Your Term is UP!
Many of us wonder how we got into this terrible position on this gloomy Sunday, waiting for the government to take over our lives
For years the answer to many has been term limits..but they have made sure that never happens.
Nevertheless, term limits are the only way for the people to make sure corruption doesn't grow into a Congress full of pimps and thugs.
So this is my nobody pick of the week for favorite email. Seems appropriate for today...no matter what happens in our house of Lords.
Thanks to Pat.
***************************************************************************
If they won’t Support Term Limits it is Time WE take ACTION!!!!!
It doesn’t matter what political party you belong to you need to Realize that this country is being Governed and Controlled by a Large Group of Politicians that have been in Office for TOO Long!!!!
Vote Out the Old Guard….
Few realize that in the House of Representatives One-Third of the Representatives have been in Office for over 12 Years. The longest serving has been in Office for an unbelievable 54 Years followed by 45 Years!!!!
The Senate is even Worse…. 47% of the Senators have been in office for over 16 Years. The longest being 52 Years followed by 48 Years and then two at 36 Years.
FORWARD THIS ON IN ORDER TO SPREAD THIS INFORMATION TO ENACT REAL CHANGE IN OUR GOVERNMENT!!!!
Vote Out OLD Incumbents – No Matter their Party Affiliation!!!
