In this photo taken Jan. 2, 2013, a reflection of the U.S. Capitol is seen inside the Cannon House Office Building as the work of the 112th Congress ends, and the work of the 113th Congress is set to begin the next day in Washington. Over the last year national polls in the United States indicate that three fourths of Americans want term limits for members of Congress, and that nine out of ten Americans still share core values like patriotism, belief in God, the value of higher education and admiration for those who get wealthy through hard work.
