Whereas, the Founders felt that the federal government would be served by folks that were Americans first; who were citizen legislators and patriots, doing their duty and returning to their homes to live under the laws passed; and,
Whereas, the federal government has been overtaken by those that believe that politics, as a career, is a good way of life; and,
Whereas, the longer and more entrenched our career politicians have become, the more they have been influenced by the pressures of the next election and the need to raise monies in the worst ways possible; and,
Whereas, the incumbent politician has a distinct advantage over the citizen legislator due to the long time connections available; therefore,
Be it resolved that the Republican Party shall embrace term limits for all federal representatives and senators. and,
Be it further resolved that six terms for Representatives, and two terms for a Senator, a total of twelve years is long enough for anyone to serve in the federal government.
