House Resolution 77

NO NO NO. PUBLIC SERVICE WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE A CAREER!! AS IT IS NOW, WITH REPRESENTATIVES AND SENATORS BEING VOTED IN REPEATEDLY, THEY HAVE LOST SIGHT AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE CITIZENS THEY REPRESENT. BUT AT LEAST WE CAN VOTE THEM OUT. EXTENDED TERMS WOULD LEAD TO MORE CORRUPTION IN THE POLITICAL ARENA.
