Remember the good old days?

Citizens for Term Limits … for a fresh Congress!
October 30, 2008
Remember when Democrats were real patriotic Americans, who put their country first and their party second?
I can name one contemporary example — Connecticut’s Senator Joe Lieberman.
And remember Georgia’s former governor, former senator Zell Miller, who addressed the 2004 Republican convention?
And retired Senator Sam Nunn of Georgia?
And Danial Patrick Moynihan, who had been our Ambassador to the United Nation? And later as a Senator from New York, partisan, but always putting his country first?
And I can report that during the days when we were working for the term limits constitutional amendment in Louisiana there were many very fine Democrats, even though without national reputations. Without them Louisiana Citizens for Term Limits would not have gotten it accomplished.
And Harry Truman,whose place in history was assured as he put petty politics behind him when he ascended to the presidency He shortened World War II and saved millions of American lives with his use of the atom bomb.
And how many of such clearheaded patriotic Democrats do we have today? I wish I knew. But I suspect that there millions of them. It is people like these who are mulling over the 2008 presidential election. And I suspect that their feelings about the country is as strong as ever, and will not let them entertain the thought of voting for Pelosi, Reid and Barack Obama.
Enough to make the difference in the election? Perhaps.
Most certainly if the election were honest.
But we will never have honest elections until we get a constitutional amendment limiting congressional terms. Citizens for Term Limits is the only organization working to get such a constitutional amendment. Difficult, but worth the effort. The rewards will be bestowed upon our children and their unborn descendents.
