Senators are serving themselves, not us

I am concerned over our present government and elected officials. It's time to clean house. I will be voting against any elected national official who has served more than two terms in the Senate, or those who served more than three terms in the House. This includes both Iowa senators, Chuck Grassley and Tom Harkin.
The only way to clean up Washington is to put new people there. Our senators are not serving Iowa anymore, they are serving themselves. When FDR died in office, Congress was quick to pass term limits for his office. We need the same limits in Congress.
The only way to really make changes is to start fresh with new people and new ideas.
