This vacuum has become filled with lobbyists as they write legislation for the elected members and provide them with information to sway them. By limiting the terms of Representatives and Senators, then there is going to be even more reliance on these outside sources of influence as the members will lack the expertise as well.

Go on, pull the other one.
