Term
Limits & Campaign Finance
by Rick
Stanley
| Rick is in favor of
term limits at the federal level to be one term in all
offices. Rick believes that common men and women should
represent America in Washington, fulfill their duty to
the country, and return home again as common people.
National service would become an honorable position once
again, as a personal service to the Republic. Professional politicians and lawyers representing the American public in Washington have proven to be a failure. They do not provide a cross-section of America to represent everyman's interests at the federal level. Does America really want to stop the corruption and influence of money in OUR government? There is your answer, America - short, sweet, simple, and to the point. Probably not complicated enough for our nation's lawbreakers. Sorry, I meant lawmakers. The most powerful way of reducing the corruption and influence of money in our election process is to reduce the size and scope of our government in Washington, and by taking the profit motive out of personal service to the country. Regarding Campaign Finance - tax dollars should never be used for this purpose. Ever. Our federal government should never try to tell Americans how much to give or not to give for a political campaign. I feel that term limits will minimize the corruption that has marred our electoral system and campaign finance practices. Under our current system, fat-cat contributors buy incumbent politicians knowing full well that their stooges will be returned to Washington to do their bidding term after term. This corrupt practice will be stopped dead in its tracks, if we subscribe to a limit of one term. |
