Term Limits Vs. The Right to Vote

I have heard many people say that
"Term limts do away with your right
to vote". This statement could not be
more false. Term limits don't take away
anyone's right to vote they do however
take away someone's right to stay in a
public office for 40 years and become a
dictator because they have a familiar name.
Polititians have banked on the fact that too
many of us voters just vote for a name, and
they have been successful because in too
many cases it is true. Term limits promote
voters investigating and getting to know who
they are voting for. No one is comfortable
voting for someone they have never heard of.
Term limiting elected officials insures
variety and accountability in government and
I am always in support of that. Don't hide
behind "it takes away my rights" republicans.
You should be proud of the service you have
provided and then conserve some dignity and step down!
