I don’t agree with any of what you are asserting about my beliefs.

I don't particularly care if you agree or not. The fact is, term limits put an end to a politician - one I may like and want to vote for as my Representative or Senator over and over again. By advocating for term limits, you are immediately proposing to restrict my freedom of speech - my ability to speak my mind with my vote, and I reject the notion that somehow you have some right to restrict my freedom of speech by instituting term limits.

In addition, there is NO DIFFERENCE between campaign contribution LIMITS and term LIMITS - both restrict free speech. If I like a candidate, and I have MY MONEY, I should be able to give as much of it to whomever I choose - I am free to speak my mind by giving money to whatever candidate I choose.

If you support term limits, you also clearly support campaign contribution limits. As such, you also support D'souza's harassment by the Feds. Further, it makes it painfully clear you are also in DIRECT OPPOSITION to the 1st Amendment.

If a representative/Senator is not on the ballot in a particular state due to term limits, I’m sure there is a provision to allow you to “write-in” whomever you please...

Your free speech is not being restricted in any manner at the ballot box...

Term limits, the repeal of the 17th (with recall provisions) AND the abolishment of the “lame duck” congress will do more to help this country in a SHORT amount of time than is imagined...
