Experience Needed In Congress

The new 112th Congress is now "hard at work" to get this country on the right path again...yeah right! This new Congress has 35 "freshman" members, many of whom have had little or no previous political expereince. That concerns me. 

I believe, for the US Congress, all members should have at the very least a year or two of prior experience in politics; whether it be mayor, governor, state congress, etc. For instance, Renee Ellmers. She is a nurse and joined a Republican political campaign...yea that's about it. Heck, as long as you can raise enough money and gain enough popularity, you too could probably run for Congress. This idea needs to change and all Congressmen and women need to be much more experienced in the political field.
