And now back to the term limits battle. Yes, that's right Tsar Bloomberg and your trained Surrender Monkeys (Christine Quinn, Dominc Recchia, David Yassky and the rest of the Bloomberg 29), we aren't forgetting your disrespect of the voters of NYC.

Norman Siegel got to confront Tsar Bloomberg at City Hall:

Norman 's statement at City Hall on Monday, November 3rd, prior to the Mayor's signing of the bill extending term limits.

Mr. Mayor, where I grew up in Brooklyn we were taught that whenever we were critical of someone we were to tell them why we disagreed with them face to face. So, this morning I will respectfully do exactly that.

I love New York City. I also love the principles and values associated with a democratic society. By extending term limits by legislative fiat on October 23, 2008, you and the City Council Speaker along with 28 other members of the City Council trampled on those precious principles. I and other New Yorkers will not be silent in opposition to your undoing the People’s will.

It did not have to be this way. You could have and should have raised the issue of extending term limits through a public referendum. But you chose not to do that. I believe you made a huge mistake in judgment. You exhibited a disrespect for the will of the people of this great city.

You still have an opportunity to reevaluate your approach by not signing the legislation before you and supporting a public referendum on this issue.

The question of whether the New York City Council can override two public referenda on term limits is an open legal one under the First and Fourteenth amendments of the United States Constitution, the New York City Charter and New York’s Municipal Home Rule Law. The Council’s vote on October 23 will not go unchallenged.

Mr. Mayor, I know you care about your legacy. Your recent actions and what I fear you are about to do today by extending term limits by legislative enactment will tarnish that legacy. History does not treat people who go back on their word kindly. Again, it does not have to be this way. There is an alternative. It’s a public referendum. It’s the People’s will. It’s called democracy.
