Press Release – Dan Eichenbaum First Candidate to Pledge for 2012

Congressional Candidate Dr. Dan Eichenbaum Bonds a Limited Term in Office: Challenges Congressman Heath Shuler for North Carolina District 11 Seat in 2012

Pinehurst, N.C. – September 8^th, 2011 –  The Alliance for Bonded Term Limits (ABTL) is pleased to announce that Congressional candidate Dr. Dan Eichenbaum, who is challenging three-term Congressman Heath Schuler in 2012, has executed a bonded term limit pledge.  He is the first candidate in the United States to do so for the 2012 election season.

Dr. Dan Eichenbaum

A U.S. Navy veteran and practicing physician from Murphy, N.C., Dr. Eichenbaum is  committed to limiting his tenure in the U.S. House of Representatives to a maximum of six (6) years. And to secure this promise, he has personally and legally obligated himself in the amount of $500,000 .  Should Dr. Eichenbaum break his promise of limited Congressional tenure, the beneficiary of his bond will be the Moore County Sentinels of Freedom, a non-profit charity dedicated to assisting servicemen and women who have sustained brain trauma in combat.

Dr. Eichenbaum advocates limited government, self-determination, a free-market economy, a balanced budget, and the right to keep and bear arms.  He believes that personal self-interest over country and the desire for long tenure in elected office is the root cause of the irrational legislative outcomes to which we are continuously subjected.  His Bonded Term Limit pledge financially underwrites the credibility of his agenda and his belief that citizen legislators should serve honorably and effectively in the best interest of America, then return home to live in their communities under the laws they helped enact.

Dr. Dan graduated from the Yale School of Medicine, Cum Laude, then served as a commissioned Naval officer during the Vietnam era.  He is a 35-year practicing physician and successful small business owner.  Dr. Dan has authored 14 peer-reviewed articles, lectured internationally in the field of ophthalmology, and holds six US patents.  Dr. Dan and his wife, Rhonda, live on their farm in Murphy where they raised their two college-age children.

The Alliance for Bonded Term Limits is a non-partisan, non-profit, grassroots organization based in Pinehurst, N.C.  ABTL is dedicated to the education of the voting public on the societal benefits derived from limited tenure in office by both Federal and State elected representatives.

   Candidates make promises to win our votes. When we get them elected, they have an immediate onset of selective memory. Our vote should be enough to get rid of corrupt, self-serving politicians . . but it’s not. Had our founding fathers been able to foresee Washington today, they surely would have limited terms for all government branches.

   We must demand our elected officials adhere to self-imposed Term Limits until we can pass an amendment to the Constitution. I commend Dr. Dan Eichenbaum for being the first candidate of 2012 to do so.
