Term Limits for ALL Politicians
It seems like the government has become confused as to who they work for – that is the American people (not illegals, welfare recipients, nor themselves).
1. No Tenure/No Pension. All politicians collect a salary while in office and receive no pay when they are out of office. Being elected is NOT the gift that keeps on giving.
2. Congress, House of Representative, Senate, and Supreme Court Justices and the rest of the government (past, present & future) participate in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and will not be used for anything other than Social Security.
3. If you don’t pay into Social Security, you don’t get Social Security. No free rides for illegals or anyone else who chooses not to work.
4. Politicians can purchase their own retirement plan with their own salary, just as all Americans do, or they can just live on their Social Security.
5. Politicians will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Salary will rise by the lower of CPI or 3% or they can put it on the ballot for the people to vote on.
6. If unemployment is at 10% for a state, elected politicians lose 10% of their salary for failing us. The rate will be determined by averaging the percentages from three different, independent statistical companies and not from a government source which is always lower.
7. Government officials representing states with a low number of welfare recipients (below 10%) shall be rewarded with a yearly raise (while the low number is maintained). For each percent that the state reduces its welfare recipients, the officials shall receive a raise of 3 percent.
8. Politicians lose their current health care system and participate in the same health care system as the American people. Welcome to Obama-Care! Perhaps you should read it now.
9. All Politicians must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people. Drug testing should be mandatory and a convicted felon (who can’t vote by the way) cannot hold a government position.
10. All contracts with past and present Congressmen, Senators, House of Representatives and any other government politician are void effective immediately. The American people did not make this contract with them and do not wish to honor what they did not authorize. Politicians made all these contracts for themselves which will stop immediately, any and all future contracts will be placed on the ballot and voted on by the American people.
11. Term-Limits for ALL elected Politicians! Congress – Two (2) four-year terms; House of Representative – Two (2) four-year terms; Senate – Two (2) four-year terms; Supreme Court – Two (2) four-year terms.
12. While elected officials are in office, they shall NOT participate in fund-raising activities – they are there to work full-time, not solicit funds for their political party.
13. No life time salaries and benefits. When the elected official leaves office, all salaries and benefits stop.
14. A non-partisan, private audit company shall audit the government yearly. Let’s find out where the money is really going!

Why is this important?
Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Granting politicians no limits on their time in office is granting them absolute power. This petition is proposed to limit the number of years that a politician can serve in office and the benefits they receive while in office.
