Term Limits or Elected for Life

Term Limits is still known as the largest grassroots movement in American history, and US Term Limits (USTL) was, and still is, the leader of that movement.
Term limits have been placed on 15 state legislatures, eight of the ten largest cities in America adopted term limits for their city councils and/or mayor, and 37 states place term limits on their constitutional officers.
American politicians, special interests and lobbyists continue to combat term limits, as they know term limits force out career politicians who are more concerned with their own gain than the interests of the American people.



term limit is a legal restriction that limits the number of terms an officeholder may serve in a particular elected office. When term limits are found in presidential and semi-presidential systems they act as a method to curb the potential for monopoly, where a leader effectively becomes "president for life". Sometimes, there is an absolute limit on the number of terms an officeholder can serve, while, in other cases, the restrictions are merely on the number of consecutive terms.

Here in Century Village, while the Delegates were napping Term Limits were first passed and then not passed. Right now we have no Term Limits. We have effectively Voted in our Dear Leader, The Gavel Banger for life. I know, I know,  that it is a undesirable situation, but that can be rectified quite easily. Vote for Term Limits at the next Meeting.

Don't have the right people to take his place, don't worry I can count on both hands a group of men and women who could do the job, with a whole lot more panache and a whole lot less aggravation and no loss of freedoms.

Wake up Delegates lets get our officers in office that will make Century Village the lovely place to live that it was!

  1. Excellent, Gary. but that means the delegates have to wake up and do what is right, not what they are ordered to do. Not so easy a proposition.

    1. They will do it when it becomes clear that to not do it is to dig into their pockets and spend a lot of money
