Here is the chance to tell Billionaire Bloomberg that we DO NOT appreciate
his having bought the NYC mayoral election by snubbing his nose at the will
of the people!

New Yorkers TWICE before rejected an end to term limits at the polls, but
Bloomberg manipulated his way onto the last mayoral ballot in spite of this,
and though he spent many million$ of his own money on self-promotion, he
just barely got re-elected.

Say NO to buying elections by saying YES on question 1.

The matter of question 2 will make it harder for corrupt politicians to
screw us over, so say YES on question 2 as well.

Wrong.

New Yorkers voted twice to _institute_ term limits.

A very, very bad idea. What, exactly, did Ron Lauder get out of the
campaign?

And what, exactly, does this have to do with nyc.transit? Do you
_still_ not understand that the mayor has no control over transit in
New York City?

Are you surprised? He's as illiterate as most of his teabagger
comrades. This is the legacy of cable news: a generation of people who
can only think in talking points.

But he'd been gone for months.

Okay, will do.

Thanks for the heads up.

Doesn't voting NO to reduce term limits increase the choices
available to the individual voter?

More ad hominem attacks.

Whatever you're against, I'm for.

Where's the attack?
