U.S. TERM LIMITS APPLAUDS U.S. SENATE CANDIDATE RAND PAUL FOR SUPPORTING TERM LIMITS
U.S. Term Limits (USTL) President Philip Blumel praised Kentucky Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, Rand Paul, for “expressing his whole-hearted support for term limits at the federal level for Congressmen and Senators alike.
“Term limits is the preeminent issue of our campaign,” said Paul in a telephone conversation with Blumel. “It will be the #1 bill I will work on when I get to the U.S. Senate.”
Paul continued, “I will travel to Frankfort and even other state legislatures to try to get them to act on this issue so we have both Congress and state legislatures working on it. I will do my best to convince our presidential candidate on the GOP side to adopt the issue as well. I think is vital in pushing this issue forward.”
Paul has officially endorsed a constitutional amendment for Congressional term limits currently sponsored by South Carolina Republican Senator Jim DeMint, according to Paul’s website.
Blumel said that “support for term limits has never been higher as the American people grow increasingly frustrated with the incumbent politicians in Washington across the country who year after year spend more and seize more power for themselves at the expense of the people who elected them.
A 2008 poll by Pulse Opinion Research that found that 83 percent of likely voters believe that elected officials should have their terms of office limited.
“The solution to these career politicians is term limits,” Blumel said, adding, “the incumbency advantage is just too great for the power of elected officials not to be limited to a set number of terms. That is why U.S. Term Limits applauds Rand Paul and the American people for taking a stand against the entrenched power establishment.”
“We urge all candidates to do the same,” Blumel concluded.
