We, the people of the U.S., petition that the U.S. Congress pass a bill in the year 2013 to address term limits for U.S. Congressmen in the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Term limits would allow for new ideas, procedures, and influence in Congress. In addition, term limits for Congressmen would decrease the chance of corruption, along with creating a "citizens" Congress, one not filled with career politicians and lawyers.
Finally, term limits would ensure regular opportunities for candidates' political advancement. For instance, when George Mitchell announced his retirement from the U.S. Senate, candidates in Maine attempted advances at all levels of government.
