This below resolution was passed at the Aiken county convention, and will now go to the resolutions committee. If the resolutions committee passes it, the resolution will be up for a vote at the state convention. However, before the resolutions committee votes, they want to know your opinion. Please use the comments section below to give us your opinion, and please use your real name. Thank you!

Whereas, the nation’s founders strongly believed in rotation in office; and

Whereas, the lack of term limits for elected public officials encourages them to take actions to retain the position rather than properly represent the citizens who elected them; and

Whereas, term limits would end politics as a career, eliminate today’s electoral bias toward advocates of government intervention, and recreate the long-lost ideal of citizen-legislators;

Whereas, term limits would increase voter choice by making elections more competitive and encouraging more candidates to run;

Now, therefore, be it resolved that the Aiken County Republican Party supports term limits for all elected public officials.
