How to deal with a congress of fools-term limits

Congress wants you to believe that term limits, the first step to an honest, independent congress, the first step in arming against the war with China, is a difficult road.  It is not difficult or long.
We have seen active revolutions occur in a day in the middle east.  The technology exists in order to have an orderly transition in a democratic country with no immediate danger, no economic downside.
Here is the reason why it will be quicker than the state convention, more immediate than the next elections.
First, it is easy to have a grass roots movment.  As more people join, as the draft amendments to the constitution are circulated, as the ideas behind it are brought forward for discussion, more people can get on board.
Second, it originating at the state level, there is no Federal Congress to bring on board to limiting their own benefits.
Third, just the idea that the states are going to take back control of this narrow part of the election process will give a certain amount of freedom to the handful of congress who actually want to govern and they may inspire those pandering politicians more focused on re-election.  Congress, may actually see the wisdom in acting first.
Fourth, the fact that the USA is focusing on short term, medium term and long term issues will allow us to decide how to deal with the serious problems facing us at each of these terms before the laws are even changed.
Start now, it's never too early, but one day, it may be too late.
