Republicans have officially started the the campaign to amend the Constitution by repealing the 22nd Amendment - the one that confines the President to two terms. If the Republicans hold their current strength, or increase it, in the 2006 Congressional elections, expect this measure to pass allowing Bush to remain President...

JOINT RESOLUTION

Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the 22nd amendment to the Constitution.



Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled (two-thirds of each House concurring therein), That the following article is proposed as an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which shall be valid to all intents and purposes as part of the Constitution when ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years after the date of its submission for ratification:

`Article --

`The twenty-second article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is repealed.'.

True democracy should be allowed, and the amendment SHOULD be repealed! I know to do this would imply that Bush would be in office for more terms, but how else are people going to wake up unless Bush is given the time to destroy everything American in America, lets let him do it! Then radical change is possible. Also, if we lifted it, Clinton to get another run at things. I know that is not good either, but at least we can go back to the good old days where the scandal of the month is who sucked who, and get away from the torture, illegal and immoral wars, hundreds of thousands of innocent people dieing. My god, bring back Monica, at least it makes for good TV without all the deaths.

I know people won't agree with me (there is a lot of sarcasm above), but the real point is that a true democracy should allow the people to decide. Any restriction in terms, people, or citizenship, is a restriction on freedom. I for one, want Nelson Mandela to run for US President.
