I would like to add one more thing to your proposal. Considering that most of what is going on in Congress currently is in violation of the U. S. Constitution I think we should also add passing a comprehensive test on the U.S. Constitution as a requirement for getting your name on an election ballot. At least then they could not pretend ignorance when they are violating the Constitution.

Pelosi's answer to the question: "What part of the Constitution do you think gives Congress the authority to mandate that individuals have to purchase health insurance?" was "Are you serious? Are you serious?"
This simply does not cut it!

Right, Amy… but its more like they have too much time on their hands to contrive ways to amass more power and wealth and to stay in "public service" (what a joke) for as long as they possibly can.

We need to stop this nonsense where they go to Washington and stay there for the remainder of their careers. That make them responsible to the corporations and intrest groups that pay for them rather than to us who pay their salaries. TERM LIMITS is what its going to take; so they go there for a few years to do the peoples' business, then go the h$ll home. That way they could focus of what thety are supposed to be doing rather than gathering re-election support. I'm with you. Kip

I think we need to go back to the system where being a politician was a part-time career. For a lot of positions, representatives had REAL jobs and worked on legislation outside of your real job. Think of Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird – full-time lawyer, part-time legislator.

These people have too much time on their hands to think of ways to control our lives. It's about time we get our government back. By, of, and FOR the people.

I can't tell you how many times that I have written to our Senators and received a junky email back, totally form when my questions called for a specific response. I called and their staff told me that they knew what was best. Bartlett is more responsive, however, he should be shouting from the rooftops every day calling them what they are. We need a total turnover in the House, Senate and Whitehouse with term limits.

I agree completely. I think the only fix must start with 2/3 states calling for constitutional convention to amend constitution to limit congressional terms to 2 per official. Also, it must allow fair salary, but remove all perks, including all lifetime or "retirement" benefits, so the offices cannot attract career politicians. Also, we must organize to draft the text of our proposed amendment.

Please write to and petition your state legislators to call for a constitutional convention for this purpose.
