Nathan LaFrance on Government Reform

 

 


Term limits will accomplish with CFR attempts to do

Nathan believes that firm term limits on members of the US House of Representatives and the US Senate will bring significant benefits to our federal government:
  1. Term limits will serve as a way to achieve some of what was sought through campaign finance reform, since federal politicians will only have one or two re-election campaigns during their time in office. It is the constant fund-raising for re-elections that have caused the massive corruption we see today in Washington.
  2. Term limits will ensure that those chosen to represent us in Washington are in touch with the American people and the issues we face every day. It is ridiculous that career politicians in Washington can be in office for 30, 40, 50+ years; how can they effectively represent the People when they live their entire lives in the Washington "bubble"?
  3. Term limits will help to limit the cronyism / favoritism / power struggles we constantly see playing out in Capitol Hill.
