Term limits for members of Congress
One way of improving the culture is to support term limits for members of Congress. Ann believes that we do not need elected officials who are going to recycle the old way of doing things. She believes we need strong, effective, conservative leaders who
will stand in the gap between the people and the federal government. Ann also supports a full ban on insider trading and believes we need to prevent the revolving door policy of legislators becoming lobbyists.
