Term Limits | Nick Tomboulides |Let's Talk |Ep. 006

US Term limits has written on their website: Congress was meant to be a citizen legislature. Our representatives were supposed to go to Washington, serve for a short time, then return to live under the laws they made. This vision has been lost. Congress is now a haven for career politicians who put their own power, perks and privileges ahead of public service. Even worse, they are impossible to unseat thanks to cozy connections with lobbyists and special interests. This broken system needs repair. So why term limits (as if I have to ask) and what is being done today to build the momentum for a national term limits amendment proposal convention? Joining me today is Executive Director of U.S. Term Limits, Nick Tomboulides to discuss this topic in more detail.
