To: The United States House of Representatives and The United States Senate
Term Limits
Have you noticed how much President Obama has aged some 6 years into his presidency? It’s also true of his predecessors, George Bush and Bill Clinton. The pressure and stress of serving as Commander in Chief of our country takes its toll.
However, this is not true of Congress where tenure is not limited to 8 years. Many members of congress have been serving 20 or more years and a dozen or so 40 years and at least one, 50+.
Do they looked stressed out, aged early? No siree, Bob, they don’t! The only way they leave is via a gurney or retire at that point in their lives when they can no longer bend over and take a payoff. Some become pretty, while others pose for men’s magazines or develop rich, dark tans trying to resemble people from whom they would like to deprive of voting rights.
Term limits for congress would cure this habitual diseased behavior. And let’s put leashes on the Supreme Court, too.

Why is this important?
My piece speaks for itself. No, it's not a petition. It's a fervent desire.
