The Democrats, Union leaders, and the Teachers Union are violently against it. They arranged Gerrymandered districts for African Americans and will never support term limits now that we have all those Black districts. It is Racist to favor a change now.

It's a great time to be a DC Congressman. Apathetic voting base, gerrymandered districts(for the House), over half of them now millionaires, etc.
Speaking of, has anyone seen anything that shows how many of the over 50% of millionaire congressmen became millionaires after taking office?

Term limits doesn't do a damn thing but switch special interest money from one pol to another.

Pretty damn good posts regarding term limits. Well done. Reform of campaign finance is the answer in my opinion. Limits and subsidized federal campaigns. It is all about the money.

Why amend the Constitution when not reelecting asshats is the answer. Laziness is not an excuse to amend the Constitution.
