Eliminate South Dakota's voter-approved Term Limits law?

NO WAY! VOTE NO ON "J"!

Should incumbent politicians ini Pierre - desperate to hold on to the powers and perks of politicial office -- be allowed to overturn the Term Limits law approved by over 64 percent of South Dakota voters?

NO WAY! VOTE NO ON "J"!

Should South Dakota turn back the clock and return to a system that let a handful of powerful politicians cut deals with special interest lobbyists in return for campagin cash they could use to get reelected, decade after decade, with no limit on how long they could stay in office?

NO WAY! VOTE NO ON "J"!

Should legislators who voted to put a repeal of Term Limits on the ballot be allowed to get away with a blatant power grab -- trying to remove term limits on themselves, but leaving term limits in place for the governor and lieutenant governor?

NO WAY! VOTE NO ON "J"!

Since voters overwhelmingly approved Term Limits, this good government law has encouraged a more frequent influx of new citizen legislators rather than the old system in which career politicians used the perks and privileges of incumbency and special interest lobbyists' campagin donations to dominate challenging candidates and win reelection over 90 percent of the time.

Instead, South Dakota's Term Limits law has given us new faces, fresh thinking in Pierre, and more competitive elections in which average citizens and taxpayers have a greater chance of being elected, serving a maximum four consecutive terms, and then leaving office to allow other citizens to serve.  No on J preserves openness in government which is vital to keeping legislators honest and more accountable and responsive to South Dakota voters.

Should we let self-serving incumbents take those benefits away?

NO WAY! VOTE NO ON "J"!
