In response to yesterday's article, Simmons, Alpert Support Term Limits, Linda McMahon's campaign responded in kind stating that she also supports term limits in the United Stated Senate. The issue of term limits has become a hot button issue for many on the right and the left in this election season resulting from some of the behaviors exhibited during the health care debate during this session of congress and because of Senator Chris Dodd's special VIP deal he received from Countrywide Home Loans.
The campaign sent the examiner this response:
Linda has no problem with term limits, although it would require a Constitutional amendment to enact such a change. But throughout this campaign, Linda has run under a self-imposed two-term limit.
It is unclear whether any of these candidates would be so bold as to propose a constitutional amendment that would be required to impose term limits on congressmen and senators. Simmons has suggested a 3-term limit for senators (or 18 years) while McMahon and Alpert both support two terms (12 years).

But FIRST, we must create a groundswell, as follows:
A Congress of career politicians will NEVER allow us to constitutionally term limit them by an amendment. But... WE CAN IMPOSE term limits on them in Congressional elections (‘2010, 2012, 2014......):
1. Never reelect your Congressman or Senator.
2. Always vote, but only for the strongest challenger , regardless of party .
If Congress has not passed a term limits bill by 2014, repeat this in 2016, 2018....
Our only intelligent choice is to NEVER REELECT anyone in Congress!
The only infallible, unstoppable, guaranteed way to get a truly new Congress, AND a new politics, is NEVER REELECT ANY INCUMBENT! DO IT EVERY ELECTION until term limits is ratified. In other words, don't let anyone serve more than one term until Congress passes a term limits bill!
NEVER REELECT ANYONE IN CONGRESS. DO IT EVERY ELECTION! ... until we ratify term limits.
