statement.

- Summary of Arguments FOR Proposition 27:
- Term limits initiative allows
candidates to declare they will abide by the congressional
term limits California voters passed overwhelmingly. It
provides important information to voters by
allowing candidates to tell us whether they intend to spend
careers in Congress as politicans or serve for a short
period of public service.
