In an attempt to eradicate the pervasive corruption found within the New York State Legislature and end the reign of career politicians, we, the citizens of the State of New York, hereby demand that our elected officials enact term limits as follows:


Members of the Senate: no more than four consecutive terms (eight years)


Members of the Assembly: no more than four consecutive terms (eight years)


If you are unwilling to support this demand, then we will do everything possible to vote you out of office.

The silence from the state house remains heavy but I am pushing forward with the outreach I promised. It is exhausting to face this wall of indifference yet I know we have to continue holding these people accountable.

Never more necessary than know. The stink of some form of corruption from almost every paid elected official is going to kill NY

Agree, term limits will at least reduce the time politicans have to become intrenched and spread their influence for personal gains.

The argument that whomever replaces these people could be worse doesn't hold water. No ,atter how bad they might be, they won't have as much time to screw things up as the fools who are presently "representing" us.

Term limits need ot be set, that will help weed out the corruption that is driving NY under.

Unfortunately, it seems so many of our politicians come to do good, but stay to make good. Term limits are the only answer.

It is long past time to ut an end to the chronic corruption in Albany. NYS legislators have gerrymandreed themselves into defeat proof districts and they earn the highest legislative salaries in the nation. The steady stream of indictments, arrests and convictions are proof that the only solution remaining to NYS residents is to demand term limits for over paid career politicians.
