10-ft Tall Trojan Horse Coming to Little Rock!

10-ft Tall Trojan Horse Coming to Little Rock!

Grassroots coalition opposes Issue 2 and Issue 3, the politicians’ attempt to trick voters into weakening term limits and wrecking the citizen petition process

The “Vote AGAINST Issue 2 and Issue 3” campaign will bring a rather large Trojan Horse to 10-ft Tall Trojan Horse Coming to Little Rock. The 10-foot tall carved wooden creature illustrates that Issue 2 and Issue 3 are sneaky, dirty tricks by politicians in the legislature meant to make fools of Arkansas voters.

The Trojan Horse will be arriving at the following stops Friday, October 30, along with a spokesperson for the campaign, which is led by Arkansas Term Limits and Protect AR Voices.

7-9:00 AM:  3rd and State Parking lot
11:00 AM-2:00 PM:  Capital Area 
3-5:30 PM:  5th and Izzard Parking Lot

Both Issue 2 and Issue 3 were placed on the ballot by state legislators, who wrote their own ballot explanations that explain little if anything to voters about what either measure actually does.

Issue 2 is labeled ‘The Arkansas Term Limits Amendment’ but voters are not told that it would let current legislators stay in office for 16 years and then, after a break, come back for 12 more.

“Issue 2 is the Lifetime Politician Amendment,” says Tom Steele, chairman of the citizens’ group, Arkansas Term Limits.

“Issue 3 is written so as to confuse and trick Arkansas voters into signing away their rights,” explained David McAvoy with Protect AR Voices. “It is a covert attack by politicians and lobbyists on the rights our state constitution has guaranteed us for 100 years and that makes it very much a Trojan Horse.”

Voters are only told that Issue 3 will “amend the process for the submission and approval of proposed initiated acts,” without saying that Issue 3 does so by making it much more difficult for grassroots groups of citizens to petition reforms onto the ballot.

For more information about the “Vote AGAINST Issue 2 and Issue 3” campaign or to arrange an interview, please call Tom Steele at 501-590-8260.
