On Tuesday, congressional candidate Brian Maryott announced that he signed the U.S. Term limits pledge as part of his list of campaign promises to voters in the 49th Congressional District. In signing this, Maryott pledges to cosponsor and vote for the amendment, which would impose term limits on members of the House of Representatives and Senate.<\/p>\n
Term limits have long been a popular proposal among American voters, but self-interested career politicians have refused to pay much attention. Ambitious politicians, like far-left Democrat Rep. Mike Levin, have also typically been hostile to term limits as they see them as restraints on the political power they would like to accumulate. This mentality explains much of what is wrong in Congress, and Maryott is the rare candidate willing to rely on actions rather than words.<\/p>\n
