Legislators, Tramps and Thieves


In the closing days of Arkansas's 2013 legislative session, solons of the 
Natural State surreptitiously voted to put a measure on the state ballot, 
without fanfare or ballyhoo. 

Five months later, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette finally noticed what happened, 
and published an editorial, "Outrage of the Year 
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Yq5rvW1MPJLoRgcX7ah6zeyPJZOQjRKgqkMPNe1rukU9AKn3368afX4S_6HJmb3Oc5UAhD_1fmY63JKQ9AzBSXgrEHbXCgppBmbmhPhTqmzUFFW3OK90M3et34yuyJvOIJkJMdPqfCcqsayB6naQTo8xr9jhEi8nRXFGCXBFfIKTOUvZzWF4B35o0OxeFfxoOgYNWjjXttDX6erXfsEIfy_NHANQRwN69fcrcO7rsZ7iE2YQGS0e4i-rT99NDmGZ&c=KVXOPqEbwLKd5UmWY927nWqj3VItRZXRHX1wPmEOEwBxpDqg10Egxw==&ch=5kGPuX0WljKegEg_4jKTzfiLA9PIt0ku8gLrtw1-HxVQ3-t3vnWR0w==>
 .' It has just been reprinted. The outrage hasn't changed. The measure would 
extend time in office "for state representatives from 6 to 16 years and for 
state senators from 8 to 16 years."  
<http://thisiscommonsense.com/images/TimJacob.png> 

But what an Arkansan will read on the ballot seems a tad different: "An 
Amendment Regulating Contributions to Candidates for State or Local Office, 
Barring Gifts From Lobbyists to Certain State Officials, Providing for Setting 
Salaries of Certain State Officials, and Setting Term Limits for Members of the 
General Assembly." 

"Setting" term limits? No sir. Term limits, already set by voters, would be 
drastically weakened. 

But the good people of Arkansas are beginning to hear the good news, the truth, 
thanks to the campaign being waged 
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Yq5rvW1MPJLoRgcX7ah6zeyPJZOQjRKgqkMPNe1rukU9AKn3368afX4S_6HJmb3OTogpzNmg188nwe8LLhDsa5lsTAtQ_lOT-KSHmKo9LdLNjxCOhQDfmsO68HY_pAuxWbfuf3aoXOnDD_HVBAPCv4Z8wF8GbUs6wnwJpjR3a_6rGvSDAhpB7g==&c=KVXOPqEbwLKd5UmWY927nWqj3VItRZXRHX1wPmEOEwBxpDqg10Egxw==&ch=5kGPuX0WljKegEg_4jKTzfiLA9PIt0ku8gLrtw1-HxVQ3-t3vnWR0w==>
  by Arkansas Term Limits against what will be "Issue 3" on the ballot. 

The group is led by Bob Porto and my brother, Tim Jacob, who are traveling the 
state speaking to audiences. Not surprisingly, the people are shocked and 
angered upon hearing the manifest fraud their representatives are perpetrating. 

At a recent talk, Jacob called it

  "an attempt to deceive the voters," noting "they have done it on purpose." 

Yet another argument for strict term limits . . . and fully informed voters. 

This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.
