Term Limits Reform Measure A Sham (Steve Poizner Leads Opposition To Dems' Power Grab Alert)

Put simply, Prop. 93 is a trick. It is intentionally designed to fool the people into thinking they are voting to reduce terms for state legislators when, in fact, it contains a special loophole to give 42 termed-out incumbent politicians more time in office. In fact, it will dramatically increase terms for 80 percent of California's legislators. Prop. 93 doubles the number of years a politician can serve in the Assembly from six to 12 years and increases Senate terms by 50 percent

Proposition 93 is NOT a term limits reform measure. It actually LENGTHENS the amount of time career politicians can serve in ONE house to twelve years! The current cap for BOTH houses is fourteen years. So career politicians would get to serve a maximum of 24 years in the State Legislature. That's quite simply wrong. Vote NO to career politicians! Vote NO to Fabian Nunez! Vote NO to Don Perata. And join Steve Poizner to vote NO to the Democrats' power grab cynically disguised as a "good government" reform.
