___________________________________ The Petition ______________________________________

We the People of Ohio and the United States of America in order to restore our liberty do hereby demand that the Ohio legislature join with other States of the Union to call for a Constitutional Convention for the express purpose of amending the U. S. Constitution by passing a Congressional Term Limits Amendment. The exact purpose of the proposed amendment is to ensure that Members of the Senate shall serve a maximum of twelve years (two terms), and Members of the House shall serve a maximum of six years (three terms). Fractional terms not included herein.We further call for members who have been in office for 20 years or more to resign at the end of their current term of office.


"Whereas career politicians dominating Congress have a conflict of interest that prevents them from enacting meaningful term limits and making Congress what the founders intended, the branch of government most responsive to the electorate; and

"Whereas career politicians, while refusing to heed the desire of the people for meaningful term limits, amassed a nearly 10 trillion dollar national debt by not only voting year after year to spend far more than they have taken in, but also by voting to increase dramatically their own pay, and also providing lavish pensions for themselves and granting themselves numerous other privileges at the expense of the people; and

"Whereas such irresponsible actions on the part of career politicians have bankrupted our country and mortgaged the future of not only every American citizen, but also their children and grandchildren; and

"Whereas the abuse of power, the corruption, and the appearance of corruption brought about by political careerism is ultimately destructive to representative government by making Congress increasingly distant from and to the people; and

"Whereas the President of the United States is limited to two terms in office by the 22nd Amendment to the United States Constitution, and governors in forty (40) states are limited by those states' laws to two terms or less; and

"Whereas the United States Congress has ignored the desire of the people for meaningful term limits by refusing to submit to the states for ratification and amendment instituting Congressional Term Limits, and by proposing exceedingly long limits for its own members; and

"Whereas it is the people themselves, not the United States Congress, who have in the past by majority vote, and should in the future set limits for the terms of Congressional offices; and

"Whereas the people have a sovereign right and a compelling interest in the creation and preservation of a citizen Congress that will more effectively protect the freedom and prosperity of the people, which interest and right may not be as effectively served in any way other than that proposed by this amendment to the United States Constitution; and

"Whereas with foresight and wisdom our founders, under Article V of the United States Constitution, did provide the people with a procedure by which to overcome Congressional self-interest, by which procedure the people of the several states may call a convention to propose amendments to the United States Constitution when two-thirds or thirty-four (34) states expressly call for a convention; and

"Whereas amendments proposed by such a convention would become a part of the United States Constitution upon the ratification of three-fourths of the states (38);

We the People of the State of Ohio demand an amendment to the United States Constitution to establish term limits on Congress to ensure representation in Congress by true citizen lawmakers;

We the undersigned, attest that we are residents of Ohio and United States Citizens of majority age and do hereby jointly and singly call upon the legislature of Ohio to take this action immediately.
