To state simply, end political futility in this country by ending the career politician.
Back in 1994, as the Republican Revolution led by Newt Gingrich and the "Contract with America" was trucking along, one of its key items was to set up term limits on federal offices with the intent of getting rid of career politicians. The idea had a lot of steam and made sense on a grass-roots level that would bring government back to the masses instead of the same individuals year in and year out.
In short, career politicians limit representation.
If the discussion grows I will post more of my thoughts on the matter.
