The problem is Florida voters keep saying eight years, but the legislature is hearing 12 and 24 years. They're just not hearing the voters who cast their ballots by a solid 77 margin in favor of eight-year term limits, so we decided to help their hearing.

In speeches to groups across the state I have made the point that lawmakers have delivered a slap in the face to citizens who voted overwhelmingly in favor of eight-year term limits in 1992. Now lawmakers are running from their decision.

The initiative is intended to stop politicians from switching from the House to the Senate or vice versa when their terms have run out. Right now we don't have real term limits because politicians can defeat the spirit of the law by playing political musical chairs.
