Platform of H. Ross Perot’s Party

I believe the platform of the Reform party aligns more closely to the platform of this site than those of any other party. Take a look!

This is what the reform platform says regarding term limits:

TERM LIMITS

The Reform Party seeks to increase citizen participation in political affairs, and supports:

* Requests for candidate pledges to limit their term of office, regardless of the current laws

* Institution of Term Limits on the House of 3 terms (6 years)

* Institution of Term Limits on the Senate of 2 terms (12 years)

I would rather a lottary than term limits. However term limits mean that at any one time half the senate and a third of the house will be on their last term. In other words, these last term senators and representatives will not have to raise the funding to be re-elected. They will not have to make false promises. Consequently, they are more likely to vote for the good of their country than for what makes their family tens of millions.

I believe most government workers believe they are merely doing a job. They look at their work as a job. They look out for themselves and their family. They look at their benifits, perks and compensations. They don’t even entertain ideas that are theoretically good for lifestyles of democratic people.

A lottary from a pool of applicants with above average reading, math and logic skills is optimal. Term limits, however, is a more viable idea for democratic people. Democratic people have not been brainwashed to accept the idea of a lottary. Democratic people have been brainwashed to accept the concept of term limits. It is a feasible idea and thus gets my nod.
