      Voter Initiatives         
   
       As the President of the Florida Citizens For Term Limits I have championed the principles and the importance of voter initiatives. Unlike the Republicans & Democrats who want to limit the voter initiative process, I want to expand it. If the legislature blocks my agenda I will go  directly to the citizens through the initiative and referendum process. I will also sponsor five voter initiatives: 

      1. Call for an initiative to bring about a three-year moratorium on condo development in order to minimize over-development in the State of Florida. 

      2. Call for an initiative which will result in the elimination of taxpayer-funded pensions for state legislators 

      3. Sponsor an initiative to require full disclosure of lobbyists pay and benefits 

      4. Ask the citizens of Florida to vote in favor of a lifetime ban that would prevent legislators and legislative staff from becoming lobbyists 

      5. Support an initiative I call “Eight and Out” The initiative would require that after 8 years, a legislator must not run for office for three years. 

No more political musical chairs, played by career politicians who violate the spirit of Florida’s term limits law by running for alternative offices when their terms expire.
