I was listening to “On point” today and the guest was Russell Brand ( the comedian). He has written a book that some would call anarchy but I would say that he is talking about Americans (or any “free” countries) taking back control of their country. The plan is simple and I have advocated this for a long time-term limits. In case you haven’t thought about it, our Congress has served too long and have lost touch with the much touted “American People”. Even though many of us know that the Congress will not set term limits for themselves (much like they will not legislate against the “revolving door” of politics and lobbying) we still expect them to do the “right thing”. Russell Brand’s book merely points out what I have stated all along term limits is the power of the people to vote for or against a candidate. If we as multiracial. multicultural and international country would at last decide to make the needed changes in government, then term limits would be set by the simple act of voting. Political campaigns have become no more than extensive mud slinging advertisements and events to coerce (yes coerce), bully or badger us into voting for them. If a candidate (incumbent or not) has to use these tactics to win then we need to vote for his opponent even if we are not sure of them.It must be ever present in our minds that limiting terms is the power of the people and our vote is our trump in the card game. It is time the Americans (all of us) stopped playing the game the politicians have put before us and change the rules in our favor , much as they have done for years. Term limits- “OUR POWER!”.
