Mr. Perriello,
I am writing to strongly urge you to vote against H. J. Res. 5, a bill that has recently come to my attention. Here is a link to a web page with information about the bill in particular....

This bill would repeal the 22nd Constitutional Amendment, which is a very real step towards a dictatorship, and at the very extreme, towards communism. Please stand up for the Consitution and the rights of our citizens and vote against this bill. It goes against many basic principles that the US government is supposed to be based on. I have also just been informed of the NLE '09 (National Level Exercise) scheduled for July 2009.
The very thought of this troubles me, especially when agreements have been signed allowing foreign troops to supposedly "assist" US troops in restoring / keeping civil rest..... But who says when they are supposed to leave? Or IF they are supposed to leave? Is the US to be the first guinea pig of modern-day martial law?
I always understood that the US government was supposed to be "We The People, By The People, For The People." These developments would not show this to be true. It is bad enough that our taxes only pay the interest on loans made to the government by the Federal Reserve. Now our own government is attempting to perpetuate its incumbency?
Term limits should have applied to all elected and appointed offices in the first place. Instead, Washington is now attempting to allow the perpetuation of one person's way of doing things. That is as close as we can get to a dictatorship without actually having one, as there will always be those who are hampered or dissatisfied with current policy, whatever it may be at the time.
Now the government wishes to permanently empower those who are satisfied with whatever current policy may be. I urge you and all of Congress to rethink this bill. It can only lead to more problems, and I believe the US has more problems than it can really handle now.
Respectfully your constituent,
