We the People want term limits

It’s how our government is supposed to work.
It’s time we demand to get the choice of term limits for Congress on the ballot.
Everyone to whom I ask “Would you be in favor of term limits for Congress?” answers "yes.“
I mean everyone. Ask around yourself. It’s not rocket science. We the People, want it!
Seriously, no candidate for president can raise their right hand and state “We will have term limits for Congress.” That’s not up to them. It’s a joke if you think Congress will ever pass a law to put term limits on themselves.
We the People need to wake up and exercise our power and get it on the ballot.
That’s the definition of democracy … a government by the people.
It is past time to do the right thing.
Let’s get term limits on the ballot so We the People can do our part in our democracy!
