DON'T LET THEM DESTROY OUR VOTE FOR TERM LIMITS ON THE LEGISLATURE--OR IGNORE OUR VOTE FOR CONGRESSIONAL TERM LIMITS. VOTE YES ON PROPOSITION 27.

The Sacramento-based opponent to Proposition 27 attacks the people of California for passing term limits on our state legislators. Where has he been living? Even those who at first opposed term limits now admit that it has worked, bringing new people with new ideas into public service.

Special interests are angry that they've lost control over our elected representatives. Good! Term-limited officials stay connected to the communities they serve, not the power-brokers in the Capitol.

Under term limits, our legislature passed the largest tax cut in a generation. Instead of never-ending political bickering, the legislature passed the budget on time for the first time in over a decade. Term limits work.

TERM LIMITS HAVE HELPED OUR LEGISLATURE STAY CLOSER TO THE PEOPLE. VOTE YES ON PROPOSITION 27.

The contributor list AGAINST term limits reads like a who's who of powerful lobbyists, big special interests and well-connected corporations. The largest contributors have been big tobacco companies. Special interests want a government they control--at your expense.

LOBBYISTS, BIG SPECIAL INTERESTS & POLITICALLY- CONNECTED CORPORATIONS HATE TERM LIMITS.

A whopping 86 percent of lobbyists oppose term limits! These powerful interests get special favors from the career politicians in Congress. We have a right to representatives who represent us.

CITIZEN LEGISLATORS. NOT CAREER POLITICIANS.

VOTE YES ON PROPOSITION 27. TERM LIMITS.
