Forum Post: The Day Democracy Died : 3rd Anniversary Protest of Bloomberg's Term Limits Extension

Join us on Sunday, October 23, 2011, at 2 pm, outside City Hall, for a protest to mark the third anniversary of the City Council vote that overturned term limits.

In 2008, the New York City Council voted to change the term limits law, thereby allowing Mayor Michael Bloomberg to seek reëlection. The action by the City Council, lead by Speaker Christine Quinn, undid the term limits approved by New York City voters, who had previously passed two referenda that had restricted elected politicians to a limit of two four-year terms.
