Arnold Schwarzenegger issued the following statement today regarding term limits:

“My campaign for Governor is based on the concept that California’s state government belongs to the people, not the career politicians. As we are now seeing with the state’s budget crisis and anti-business policies, it is too easy for the politicians to become disconnected from the people they are supposed to represent.

“That is why I believe in citizen-legislators and yes, even citizen-governors. It is also why I am such a strong believer in term limits. The voters of California share these beliefs and have not only voted for term limits but re-confirmed their support just last year by defeating Proposition 45.
