InfoWars Nightly News September 4, 2015 September 4, 2015 The most powerful corporations and special interest groups always hedge their bets by buying BOTH sides of the aisle. That way they always win regardless of which party holds the majority! So many people believe that if "their" party was in control, everything would be better. WRONG!

Western Free Press April 4, 2017 Why do we need term limits? Many people ask this question without quite understanding the implication of having the same people in power for decades. Members of Congress once had the opportunity, back in 1947, to limit the U.S. President to two terms in office, but chose not to limit themselves. And why would they? Once elected, they have unlimited income potential. That is not necessarily a bad thing as long as they represent their constituents’ interests.

Aja Elyse Schmidt of Lexington is the Davidson County representative for a national group called Term Limits for U.S. Congress that has begun an online petition calling to impose expiration dates for certain elected officials through Article 5 of the United States Constitution. "People of all generations are tired of Congress not doing anything and not representing the people," Schmidt said. "This is a national movement to allow the states to convene a convention to make a constitutional change. It is supposed to be a government for the people and by the people, and every voice counts."
