#2 SITE OBJECTIVE

www.tenurecorrupts.com

Today I would like to introduce my website (www.tenurecorrupts.com), and to start a series of conversations with any and all who would like to explore the single objective of that website, which is to enact an amendment to the U.S.Constitution for Term Limits in the US Congress..

I am fully aware that there is a universal feeling that this is a fool’s errand, since it is necessary to first get two-thirds of each house of Congress to agree to end their ‘gravy train’. This is not a job for the faint of heart !

It’s a dirty job, but somebody’s got to do it ! And I’m volunteering !

My name is Nelson Lee Walker, an ordinary citizen who strongly believes that we need Congressional Term Limits.

Until now this idea has had a lukewarm reception even by those who have been pushing it steadily for many years. Many reasonable, logical, and sometimes powerful arguments have been put forth by several think tanks and organizations, such as Cato, US Term Limits, etc, and in spite of the fact that almost half the states now have statewide term limits enacted by large majorities, the idea of a Congressional Term Limits Amendment (CTLA) doesn’t seem to get much respect.

So I decided to join the 21st century’s blog world and try to put together a comprehensive effort which would focus on the strategies needed to move this idea forward more effectively.

As the links bar of the site shows, we will include focus on:

•Amendment wording choices (some wordings may be more saleable than others).

•A list of all arguments pro and con, fully explored, including possible unintended consequences.

•Discussions of how best to go about organizing real actions to make it happen.

•The site will sign up people all over the country who will, when alerted, simply cooperate in simultaneous CTLA blasts of emails to Congress, and the media.

•We’ll enlist lots of blogs and other media (pro and con) to generate a drumbeat of background noise about a Congressional Term Limits Amendment.(CTLA).

•We will intensify this campaign every two years in each Congressional election.
