However, your recent efforts do earn you a prize as THE poster child for term limits!

How much longer do the citizens have to endure the nonsense which oozes from your office?

May your lifelong medical benefits be early term-limited, too. Then, you can decide not to drink in tobacco smoke-filled bars! No local government required. Let the markets decide.

Next thing we know, everything but tofu will be banned. Non-smokers wanting smoking banned remind me of the pro-lifers. If they object, nobody can do it.
