“Just Say No…to Career Politicians."

I will be candid with you. I have no interest in making politics a career. What we have is far too many "career politicians" in America and history has shown that career politicians never have the interests of what is best for Americans because career politicians' loyalty is to the lobbyist, corporations, and their own families.

When career politicians are elected, the only issues that matter is how they can be re-elected within the next 2 years, 4 years and 6 years, respectively. America has individuals that have been in politics so long that one might think they were original signers of the Declaration of Independence.

Excluding governors, mayors, and the President of the United States, when was the last time an elected official such as a senator, a member of congress, state representative, or a city council member served 1-2 terms and left office on their own accord and not by the stench of scandal or voted out by their constituents?

Before term limits were placed on the role of the Presidency, one could serve as President indefinitely. Franklin Roosevelt for example, served 12 years, 8 days and 1 month as President of the United States and would have served longer, but he died while in office. And yet, George Washington, America's first President was the only one that stepped down after his second full term despite the fact he would have won a third term easily.

Career politicians "stifle" the legislative process that should be more fluid and would benefit all Americans. Career politicians are more concerned about serving the corporations that have provided them with huge campaign contributions. Many of these career politicians, for example, are currently selling out Americans by not passing a healthcare bill that would effectively provide affordable health insurance for us all because they are too busy prostituting themselves as they focus on fleecing the middle class and poor to the satisfy their "sugar daddies"--the healthcare syndicate.

Conversely, since career politicians have no interest in leaving on their own, we the people, the voters, must assist them with a clear and decisive early exit plan from elected office. If we truly and emphatically want change in our system of government to better service all Americans, we have to stop re-electing these career politicians over and over again.

In electing new individuals for public office we can consistently bring about new and innovative ideas that will strengthen local, state, and federal legislation and cast aside the current weak, flat, and vacillating career politician.
