The Rise of Corporate Congress: A We The People Manifesto for Term Limits

By David M Arnold

The Rise of Corporate Congress: A We The People Manifesto for Term Limits is a powerful examination of how American democracy has been steadily undermined by the influence of corporate money and career politicians. Once envisioned as a body of citizen legislators serving the people, Congress has become a permanent political class that prioritizes fundraising, re-election, and the interests of corporations over the public good. Through decades of unchecked corporate influence, lobbyists, Political Action Committees (PACs), and dark money, legislation now frequently favors big business, perpetuating economic inequality, environmental neglect, and social injustice.

The book traces the historical roots of this crisis, highlighting lessons from both domestic and international examples of republics that failed due to entrenched elites and corruption. It exposes the illusion of choice in a two-party system dominated by corporate funding, showing why elections alone are insufficient to restore accountability.

Central to the solution is a constitutional amendment imposing term limits on members of Congress. By limiting tenure, term limits would break the cycle of careerism, restore citizen-driven representation, and ensure that legislators remain accountable to the people rather than special interests.

Beyond diagnosis, the book offers a practical roadmap for change. It explains how ordinary citizens can organize at the grassroots level, leverage state-level resolutions through the Article V process, and build cross-party coalitions to pass the amendment.

Ultimately, The Rise of Corporate Congress is both a warning and a call to action. It challenges Americans to recognize the stakes, unite beyond party lines, and reclaim a government of, by, and for the people before democracy itself is irreversibly compromised.
