It appears to me that, for far too long, it has all been about getting re-elected to office. If the politicians knew that they only had two terms to serve, it might have a more positive effect than the current situation of lifelong employment at our expense even if they do not perform their obligations or duties. How many of us would be able to keep our jobs if we refused to do what we were hired to do?

What I propose is that we simply vote out any and all politicians who have been if office for more than two terms, regardless of party affiliation. I know there are some good people in office, however, I feel we must get their attention at some point. When you think about how long we have put up with the status quo of how things are done, we have no one to blame but ourselves. The politicians are counting on us not to do anything. Let’s show them that the pendulum has swung as far as it can go. It’s just a thought, but what if?
