Republican Congressional candidate for Vermont’s At-Large district Mark Coester of Westminster has signed a pledge to support legislation for term limits for members of Congress. 

This pledge was created by US Term Limits, a non-partisan organization that has worked since 1992 to educate the public and advocate for term limits for the House and Senate.

Coester gave the following statement regarding his support for term limits: “Our founding fathers never intended for America to have a permanent political class. They demanded that ordinary citizens stand up and be active in their government. Public service should not be a lifelong career. This is a government of, by, and for the people, and I am honored to reaffirm that by signing this pledge for term limits in Congress.”

Besides advocating for term limits for all elected officials, Coester strives to improve education with a focus on civics, and aims to secure borders, reduce taxes, and combat human trafficking.

  1. If we have term limits for elected officials, will we also have term limits for lobbyists? Otherwise, we will have the foxes ruling the hen house… even more so than today.

  2. Term limits for all politicians, not just the President ? What a novel idea ! He can propose it all he wants, but getting a majority of these power hungry d-bags to vote for it is a pie in the sky, what kind of drugs are you on, this will never happen kind of a thing. The idea of a government, “of the people, by the people, and for the people” has become more like a government of the entrenched, by the entrenched, and for the entrenched.

  3. If you examine some of our State political problems and most of our Federal political problems you will see that the well entrenched incumbents are a problem and they exist on both sides of the aisle.

  4. Term Limits? What’s forcing the term limit debate is the electing of corrupt and incompetent people who bamboozle the low information voter into voting for an official that should not be there in the first place. So now we term limit out an honest hard-working politician that does his job for the people? Sorry but that makes no sense.

    In the Constitution the Founders provided us with the right balance for the people to elect their congressmen with only they, the people to have the ability to keep or remove them. We had Term Limits provided by the Constitution when the state legislatures were the ones to send two senators to serve their states in the senate. These senators would be swapped out when the people decided what party was doing a good job or not and elected that party to govern their state.

    Then comes the year 1913. The Federal Reserve established, but tariffs which funded the government were eliminated and the Progressive income tax the16th Amendment was passed using the propaganda of making sure everybody paid their “fair share”, (where have we heard that before) when in reality they installed a system which they knew down the road could be weaponized and used against political opponents. The IRS makes sure of that.

    Then they passed the 17th Amendment allowing the Senators to be elected to office instead of being appointed by the state legislatures bypassing the natural term limits the founders built into Constitution. Right after all the Senators were bought ($$$) up by the special interests of the day, they turned around and passed laws allowing them to create foundations so they could circumvent the income tax. All this was done under another corrupt politician, the father of Progressivism, President Woodrow Wilson. And the United States has never been the same. The camel got more than his nose under the tent. Scratch a progressive and you’ll find a fascist.

    WANT TERM LIMITS? REPEAL THE 17TH AMENDMENT
