"It doesn't matter whether they're Democrats or Republicans, our elected officials have proven that the longer they stay in Washington D.C. they more they become part of the Washington establishment; which changes their focus from governing to getting re-elected," said Our Generation Executive Director MacMillin Slobodien. "It's time for us to start sending them all home."

The ads, which have already started airing on FOX News, CNN and MSNBC call Congress "Arrogant, aloof, and unresponsive" and ask viewers to sign a petition at TermLimitsPetition.com. Other parts of the campaign include a targeted mailing to 400,000 voters asking them to sign petitions and contact their legislatures, sending an issue brief entitled "Term Limits: A reform that works" to policy makers across the country, and a new media campaign using YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook.

Our Generation plans to continue this campaign into the 2012 election cycle.

Our Generation, is a nonprofit, nonpartisan advocacy organization founded in 2009 to research, educate and promote long-term free market solutions to today's public policy concerns. For more information please visit OurGeneration.org.
