Elected officials - whether national, state or local - are most loyal to those that sustain their power. Terms limits will restrain the cozy friendships between PACs and politicians.
Then the process of creating and passing legislation can begin, focused on:
- campaign finance reform
- banking/finance/markets regulation reform
- fiscally prudent govt budgets, especially limits on entitlements, immigration, severe penalties for official misconduct/corruption, and public pensions & benefits
- wholesale reform to legislation affecting PAC contributions. Private industry, special interest and union PACS are equally guilty in shaping legislation that has enabled this quagmire we find ourselves in. As a consequence of this influence peddling, the 99% finds itself unrepresented.
EVERYTHING begins with a national and state referendums to establish term limits. Everyone holding office - from the President to the local library board - knows term limits obstruct their power and amibition.
Political ambition has corrupted this great country!
