Here is a transcript from February 12, 1997, PBS's News Hour. The topic was term limits and here is what Republican Rep. Deborah Pryce had to say:
REP. DEBORAH PRYCE, (R) Ohio: I remain convinced that limits are not only beneficial; they are essential to making Congress more effective, productive, and accountable. The Congress was meant to be a citizen legislature. The founding fathers and those that followed after them were laymen, not career politicians. And just think of the many benefits that would come from term limits: a regular influx of new ideas, fresh, motivated members, a Congress close to the people and issues facing them out there in the real world, a greater emphasis on merit, rather than seniority, and a better chance to guard against legislative gridlock.
Isn't that what we have now---legislative gridlock, old ideas, and a do-nothing Republican congress?
Pryce has an excellent reason to vote for someone new, fresh, and motivated. That new, fresh, and motivated person is Mary Jo Kilroy.
