Each election year voters are wooed by promises of making things better in government. Most of us are disappointed by the replacements we elect. It seems things continue as before, so we wait until the next group attempts to persuade us with their hollow promises.
I propose that the problem is the system. Politicians are exposed for too long to the corruption of power. Simply changing the oil on your car will not rectify a flat tire. Until we address the actual problem, we will receive the same results. Even a small deviation from your course will lead you far from your destination over time. So let’s reduce the time ANY politician can spend in office! Yes, I am proposing making EVERYONE leave office after 10 or 12 years. This will limit the level of temptation. Since they are there to SERVE the people, they will also not receive a retirement plan. Thus saving taxpayers Billions of dollars.
Now the chances of having such legislation passed any group of politicians is slim to none! So we need to force this action through the referendum process. I do not have the skill, knowledge or energy to complete such an act, but I know many of our readers can do this. Please take up this cause to restore our State and Nation.
