Something has to change. We have had a rough start in our Republic over the last 150 years. Our four fathers, mostly Christian, envisioned a free country dedicated to the primus that all men were created equal. While these men were basically ordinary citizens, they were the more wealthy and influential leaders of the colonies.

When the Revolutionary War was won, they discussed the possibility of making George Washington a King or at least head of the government instead of President for a short term. Thankfully he declined. However, there were men in the government that wanted the power that was coming to our nation. These men were instrumental in the development of the laws and the rules we go by because they were there for a long time.

Since that time, the length of time of service in the House of Representatives and the Senate for the House and Senate members has increased to the point that nothing matters except maintaining power for the benefit of themselves or the entities that supported their reign or power.

From that perspective it seems clear to me that the public can changes what the elected members will never do. That is to set term limits. A referendum must be set on the ballot in every state simultaneously in a federal election to set term limits to two terms for the Senate and four terms in the House, It will never happen without the public input.

The only way we can take our constitution back is to change the thinking in Washington.

As usual our Congressmen and Senators are thinking more about themselves than the country. Considering even the idea of the Islamic people trying to take over our country. All of our representatives are reacting instead of proacting to the problems facing our nation.

This problem has been working for some time and being ignored by everyone in power using freedom of speech right to assemble which we originally put in the Constitution as a crutch to justify rebellion.

I am just a simple citizen, but there are solution that could be considered. Treason could be more clearly refined. The American public are easy to confuse including me. The law now protects politicians from making statements about their opponents with out any proof of what they say. To me it is okay to make any statement without producing the proof, but it should be available in case it is questioned by the media.

We have been invaded several times by organized protesters that are protesting against the values we hold dear. Many times they are masked to hold their identity from the public. This boarders on treason yet it is treated as a misdemeanor. Another is taking over and area for days or in some cases weeks or months, to inhibit the activities of the public’s normal and necessary activities. Another is the waring of masks in public with reason. Many criminals are dress with masks and hoods for no purpose other than to break into store.

We could have federal laws amended to stop these activities. You Congressmen and Senators are smarter that me, so I am sure this can be handled. You can start by asking yourselves and the activities I have mentioned are you really trying to help or are you just there because you have more money or ran a better campaign.
