| Collapse all
- A corrupt legislature cannot reform itself, so we must have a constitutional convention.
- There is an abundance of issues that both Democratic and Republicans voter agree on but there is an elite few do not want passed.
- I do not want to be a politician, I just want to see the country that I love changed for the better
2) Genuine accountability to their electorate, that is the willingness to listen to and act upon the will of the people they represent
I believe that the people of a congressional district should be able to elect whomever they want and term limits may deprive them of their best choice. However, voters should be wary of incumbents and the motivations of career politicians.
