The term limits on presidents is one of the few tools we have to protect us from lifers who envision themselves as kings. Even after eight years they come to believe they are infallible. Write to congressman Serrano and tell him to withdraw this bill!
No public official should be allowed to serve more than two terms. Look what career politicians have brought us. We should not only maintain the current limits onpresidents, but extend that to congress as a whole and to the Supreme Court. NO ONE should be given a lifetime appointment to any political office or allowed to transform their office into a lifetime career.

Mike!
Where were you during the 8 years of Bush? The Republicans? The country was NEVER so divided as it was during that time. And it still is. At my age I have seen a lot but nver the outright contempt, the hatred openly expressed by holier thatn thou Republicans who had as their public personna’s a junkie…Limbauhg….a drag queen with a sewer for a mouth….Coulter. And how ’bout that blowhard O”Reilly? These three did more to divide the country, spread hate an discontent, spread disinformation and lies, and were all hailed as patriotic Ameircans and the standard of the Republicans.
I agree that ending term limits is an absolutely insane idea…….just imagine a lifetime of Bush and Cheney, phoney morailty and values, and the millions of people who would have had their lves ended abruptly for simply having the misfortune of living atop oil wells.
they are all the same bunch. The right/left, liberal vs conservative is a stage show.

Mike, While I agree with your assessment, let us not forget the biggest rippoff of the taxpayers was the unmonitored billions and billions handed out to Wall STreet in the recent past and which continues today. Obama is just the next stage of a planned coup aginst the people. He wil have a long way to go to beat the record of the 8 years of Bush and the Republicans, but he’s well on his way.

Obama’s political power comes from turning one American culture against another. He invites liberals to attack conservatives by mischaracterizing conservatives and their ideals. This is not leadership – it is deliberately destructive. Obama, if left unchecked, will deliver a standard of living that is far lower than ANY of us want. The day that liberals and conservatives work together towards a true compromise is the day that Obama will meet his political demise. True leaders do not lead by dividing their own people, but this is exactly what Obama does. The biggest obstacle on our road to economic recovery is our lack of cohesiveness that Obama openly nurtures. There is no reason to end term limits, especially with the national nightmare that we now have in “President Obama”.

We desperately need term limits – I can’t imagine more than 8 years of Obama hijacking our money with unexamined bills that leave the taxpayer with no representation and huge debt. This “no term limits” idea is the absolute worst I have ever heard. Get rid of this Serrano nut.

Marti, thank you so much for your comment! People in this country need to get over the “partisan” mentality. BOTH parties are selling this country away, from the Ultra conservatives to the Ultra liberals.
The “global economy” has several goals…all of which will make the rich, richer. So far, we are seeing our wages go down, due to “imported” workers and jobs being sent to foreign workers. This improves the foreign worker’s life just enough to keep them from starving but, by no means, makes them comfortable.
While improving the lives of the foreign workers, just a little, it is slowly destroying the middle class, in this country. Unfortunately, the younger workers (and some of the older workers) have little knowledge of what it was like, BEFORE all this influx of foreign goods and workers or jobs being exported…because it’s been gradual, so the younger people are living in a time, where “it’s always been this way”.
The primary goal of a “world economy” is to make two classes of people, in the world…the very rich and the very poor.

Dennis,
These are not liberals or conservatives….we have to get past this kind of thinking. From any perspective they are globalists. All of this is staged. While the Republicans had control of the house and senate, they tried to end term limits 6 times to keep Bush in office. The wrath you hope for should be waged against all of these people who have broken their oaths of office and failed to represent the American people as they swore to do. For the last two yearsm those masquerading as Democrats have revised and reintroduced the same bills proposed by Republicans previously. A few tweaks and a few sights of hand and now its something new and improved but still the same old thing.
They all need to go. Join “Kick them all out” using the link on the right. Some good work going on there.
Marti

Another example of liberals intent to socialize this country. There playbook comes straight out of the “Communist Manifesto”. At some point they will feel the wrath of the American people. I hope it’s sooner then later. Enough is enough….

Serrano introduced 16 resolutions including this one! He is the Chairman on the Subcommittee for financial services and general government which oversees the budget of the Judiciary where HR 5 now sits. Write the other 430+ Congressional Members since he obviously want this passed.
