“They seem to forget that corporations can’t vote”

Most are in safe seats and they don’t care. I have believed for quite a while that multi-national corporations are a greater threat to our freedoms than any other. One world rule will come from politicians bought by corporations. We need term limits and elimination of political contributions by anyone but voters in their districts.
Fire away.

I agree with your premise, however, I’ll bet a lot of rats thought they had safe seats in 1994 too.

If campaign contributions were limited to, say, $1000 per identified, registered voter, per candidate, within that candidate's potential constituency, and $5000 to the party, then term limits would probably be unnecessary.

On the other hand, it's exceptionally rare that a legislator doesn't get their loyalties upside-down pretty quickly once they get to Washington.
