First, you can't run for one office while already holding another. I hate it when people run for President while sill a Senator or a Governor or whatever. I think that in order to announce your candidacy you must first resign all other elected posts.
Second, can only be on the ballot in a set number of federal elections, not just term limits, but race limits. Shake things up a bit, sure you lose good ones, but say you can only have 4 races, then in the Senate that is 24 years. If you have been there 24 years and you still haven't fixed the country it is time to get out. If you have fixed the country, good job, take a vacation, tax payers expense. When people are worried about getting reelected they aren't thinking of right and wrong. Sure sometimes people do things that are unpopular, but they are the right thing to do. Bush Sr. and Congress had to raise taxes, it was very unpopular, but it contributed to the federal government gaining money during the Clinton administration. In retrospect it had to be done, that single thing probably lost him the election. Of course I bet nobody ever gets up and claims "no new taxes" -----Original Message----- From: Dana [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 04, 2005 9:29 PM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: AYFKM #666 you might be onto something but how would you enforce that?
