Did you know that the new congressman that you elected to try and change the mess we have in Washington are essentially little more than trainees, the junior congressman has very little power, and is not equal to the established members of congress. The junior congressman has to vote as he’s told to vote or the money dries up for his reelection campaign, then he’s out of a job come next election. Your new congressman is not even allowed to speak until all the senior members have spoken first, heaven forbid he should represent the people and disagree with a senior member, or even with his own party for that matter.

Is that the kind of congressional change you voted for last election? Congressional term limits would cut that power structure and allow the people you elect to represent you, not to serve for the survival of some 30 year veteran congressman who has manipulated and blackmailed his way to the top, and wants to stay there until they have to wheel him out.

Not sure I like this idea. I think its up to the constituants whether they like the job he/she is doing.
