"The People are the best judges who ought to represent them! To dictate and control them, to tell them whom they shall not elect, is to abridge their natural rights!" - Robert Livingston, Writer of The Declaration of Independence.
The Founding Fathers obviously believed Term Limits unacceptable, preferring to provide the people the Power of Their Vote to determine the length of time their representatives could serve in office.
Enough so, they left them out of The Constitution and wanted the People to use their Vote to decide who would enter the Elected Offices. However, both George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, both stepped down after two terms, setting an unwritten protocol which was adhered to until Franklin Roosevelt, who ran for President 4 times. Upon his death, the 22nd Amendment was passed, limiting all future Presidents to 2 Terms In Office.
The following remarks from the citizens of Douglas County, express their feelings about 2 Term Limits being placed on The DC Sheriff and why they ENDORSE Ballot Measure 1A, extending that restriction to 3 Term Limits.
Their answers all seem to gather around the words Liberty and the Freedom of Citizens to exercise their Right To Choose the Best Candidate for Sheriff and Their Right To Elect that Candidate to office using the most powerful tool Americans have at their disposal - THEIR RIGHT TO VOTE!
