Democrats Plan First-Day Assault on Term Limits and Open Debates

In a startling grab to consolidate power by stifling political dissent, Democrat leaders in the House of Representatives plan to roll back congressional reforms in place for over a decade which gives all House Members the right to offer amendments, and sets term limits for Committee Chairmen and Speaker of the House.   

“This is an incredible, in-your-face attempt to take the House of Representatives back to the corrupt, closed-doors political culture of the 40-years that Democrats controlled the House prior to 1995,” says U.S. Rep. John Carter (R-TX).   “Rule packages like the ones we will see tomorrow foster nothing but political corruption and blind partisanship, exactly what the American public says they are sick of, and which Democrats said they opposed during the campaign.  Now they’re trying to pull what we call a ‘bait and switch” in Texas, and the American voter will end up cheated if they succeed.”
