Amendment 3
[ 1 FOR constitutional amendment J
empowering the qualified voters of
rtoeieetttre Governor and

Lieutenant Governor to a second
successive term of the same office. |
Ybu deserve this choke.

WOO RIIWIIMU.
One? upon a time, some of King George's
royal governors really pushed the colonists
around. And you've been short-changed,
ever since. After the Revolution, when state
constitutions were being written, people
remembered the crown's wrongs, and
made sure that future governors couldn't
abuse the power of the office. So, In many
states, a governor was barred from serving
more than one term. In N.C., the Assembly
elected the Governor, up till 1835. Then,
you got the vote - and the one-term limit.
It seemed Hke a good Idea, at the time.
As our nation grew, and grew up, the rights
of the voters and of the state legislatures
grew stronger. The task of running a state
government grew more complicated. And
the task of finding really well-qualified
people for the job of Governor grew more
and more difficult.
SelhuMwdNngsd
Seeing that the fS old fears of a governor
) / ( gaining too much
/ [C\J / power were groundless
( u _/ under modem systems.
\ more and more states
V realized that It only
? J mode sense to keep a
^?A good governor on the
\J job, Instead of outo
^ matloally turning him out and having
to start fresh with an unknown and
unproven person
49 el 10.
And so. state after state gave their voters
this option: to refect or re elect on
experienced governor Alaska and Hawaii
brought it with them to statehood. In 1966.
Oklahoma changed. In 1968, Louisiana
and Missouri. 1970; Florida and
Pennsylvania. West Virginia in 1972. and
just last year, our neighbors in Georgia
passed their amendment. Today, the
voters of 43 of the 50 United States have
this important right.
Here's our chance.
On November 8th, the voters of North
Carolina can vote themselves this right. On
the ballot, Constitutional Amendment #3
empowers the voters to re-elect their
Governors and Lieutenant Governors for
a second term, if they choose to.
A bipartisan effort.
A majority of the N.C. General Assembly
voted to recommend this amendment.
Leading Republicans. Democrats, and
independents support Its passage All of
the past five former Governors Luther H.
Hodges. Terry Son ford. Dan K Moore.
Robert W Scott and James E Holshouser.
Jr. endorse It And a recent citizens
committee on constitutional reform urged
this change be made
PerheHer fgeernwsewt.
Our state suffers from the one-term limit
Long-range problems like water, energy,
and new industries and jobs demand
long-range solutions. From short-range
governors. By the time our govemorsTearn
the job, theirterm is half over. So they can't
initiate and administer the kind of
farsighted programs that our state needs.
But even just the possibility of re-election
would encourage and allow stronger,
more consistent leadership.
The one-term limit shortchanges North '
Carolina in other ways. The people who run
the federal programs and who participate
in the regional conferences know full well
that the N.C. governor is an automatic
lame duck. So they pay less attention to our
needs Squeaking wheels get the grease,
but our governor isn't around long enough
to establish the working relationships or
make the necessary contacts to have the
kind of influence our state deserves.
And your ful rights.
But over and above all Ihe FOK?11.-1?I?**Jli
logical, practical reasons I of ????? stair to *i?ei the c?vrrn>
for Amendment # 3. the M-roml MirrtMitf Icrtn of tin* i
real key Is that the one-termI u against
limit Is contrary to the
democratic process It
deprives you of a fundamental right
If the voters are capable of finding people
good enough to be governor for four
years, they are capable of deciding
whether they want to re-elect them for four
more To continue a good job And they
are capable of deciding that the job
wasn't good enough, so they can
choose to reject them after four years
Either way. you should hove the choice
And Amendment # 3 gives It to you
November 8 vote for the right to reject or re-elect.
