A group called Don’t Touch Term Limits, a grassroots coalition of people who supported the effort to put them in place in Michigan in the 1990s, is behind the effort, said Scott Tillman.

1. I don't like term limits.

2. It's cute, but I was hoping for a REAL giant pig.

Like maybe someone had captured one of the "hogzillas" they keep shooting in south Georgia and Alabama. I'm ambivalent about term limits. It would be great if vermin like Moscow Mitch were limited to two (or one) terms, but we'd also lose many effective Democratic senators and congresspeople.

4. This is not a grassroots action!

It is sponsored by a national organization. US termlimits.com. Probably not the correct web address but that is on purpose.
