Rally for Term Limits Today at City Hall
At 2:00p.m today (Sunday, 7th September, 2008), there will be a rally by those who support term limits, at City Hall in Manhattan. One of the organizers is Kevin Wardally of Bill Lynch Associates. Kevin is a well known political consultant and political operative/technician. He is also a Vice-President at Bill Lynch Associates -on of the top political consulting firms in New York. This firm counts Senator Hillary Clinton as one of their major clients.
Recently, word has been received by media sources that the mayor, the speaker and other city council members, were conspiring to overturn term limits by fiat. Many political activists have already filed their protests, with both Mayor Bloomberg and also with many council members -including the Speaker. This issue has been broiling for years; despite the fact that the people of New York City have twice voted for term limits through referendum; we the people need to settle this once and for all.
I am going to place myself firmly in the camp of those who support term limits; I will be at that rally today. I urge many of you who read my column (and support me on this issue) to show up at City Hall today. We need to tell these electeds that we will not stand for this affront to democracy.
Stay tuned-in folks. This fight has just begun anew.

Consultant leading rally?

Why would Wardally be behind the rally? Is he worried that he won't make as much money next year if there are less open races?
Notification Of Term Limits Rally
You know Rock I am TOTALLY in favor of term limits and I feel that what the Mayor and City Council are trying to do is disgusting and against the wishes of the voters both in 1993 and 1996. I will take this matter on more forcefully after the elections. As a matter of fact, I think we should have term limits for Congress also.
I'm also mad that notification of this rally came too late for many of us to be there. Why can't we get a day or 2 notice of such things? Recently the same thing happened with a DFNYC event whereby the notice arrive 2 hours after the event was being held. Since I have a 9 to 5 job it's virtually impossible for me to attend Rallies during work hours but a weekend rally I could at least attend. Please tell those who planned this rally that they really need to plan further in advance and rest assured that I intend to make this matter a priority.
