Term limits

I received an email asking me to endorse term limits on congress. Growing up, I always felt that elections were term limiting but that was before gerrymandering came along. The two political parties are so entrenched they were able to rig the elections in favor of incumbents by adjusting the district boundaries. This along with the advantages that the ins have in regards to money has led to a 95% reelection rate. This has given us the professional politician and the mess we have in the nations capitol. Perhaps it is time for limits, say two 6 year terms for senators and six 2 year terms for the house.
