Do You Support Congressional Term Limits?

Congressional candidate and former State House GOP Caucus Chair Donna Sheldon today launched a district wide tour calling for congressional term limits and saying that Washington. D.C. is plagued by an “acute case of ‘insideritous.’”

“Many of the problems coming out of Washington today are caused by a culture of incumbency protection and career politician mindset,” Donna said.  “If Congress was looking out for citizens rather than themselves, they would make better laws and policies.”

Sheldon proposed a limit on both senators and congressmen of 12 years – 2 terms for senators and 6 for congressmen.  “If you can’t make a difference in 12 years, you shouldn’t be there in the first place,” Sheldon said.

One benefit to this plan that Donna highlighted was the positive impact on legislation.   “If members of Congress know they are going to have to live under the laws they pass and that they will have to do so soon, they will make better laws,” she said.

Donna’s tour will take her Winder, Monroe, Hamilton Mill, Watkinsville, Greensboro, Covington, Jackson, Milledgeville, Eatonton and Monticello.  For more information, contact Dan McLagan at 678-429-8524 or Chad Holland at 770-709-8816.
