Poll posted in protest of not having a "no" option on the current term limit polls.

Self explanatory, do we really want term limits?

Yes / No / Abstain.

They are valid -- unless a later poll has the opposite result.

Always allow the people to change their mind. Always.

There should not be any term limits. If a person can get himself elected five terms in a row, why stop him?

You know you are acting a lot like a voting block, right?

I simpley Urge our members to vote in a certain way. I am glad when they follow through, but that dosnt make it necessary for them to. Besides when was it ever said that voteing blocks were not allowed.

If someone is doing a good job, shouldn't they be allowed to hold office for as long as they continue to be elected and continue doing a good job? No term limits.

This poll is necessary for run-off reasons, and I would like once again register my strong opposition to term limits. Let freedom and the democratic process run it's course.

Term limits are neccesary, but don't need to be constriciting. If after holding office for 3 terms someone has to take a 1 term hiatus from that position, i see nothing wrong. If they are good enough to chnage thing for the better, then why after three terms of fixing things, should they not go help some one else!

I thought there was a BINDING poll on this already somewhere? Maybe the anarchists are coming, OMG maybe i AM the anti-christ. Ahhhhhhh!!!!

DaveShack pretty much SUMMED it up:

I think term limits are great because it means more election fun! Speaking of elections has there been "the election" yet? ( you know, when we elect our leaders)

Don't forget, Vet A could be elected, serve his term, and be forced to leave office only to be replaced with Vet B. Why not just prohibit veterans from running?
