3 STATEMENT Rabid Republicans, joined by disgruntled Democrats, have written their wrath into the Constitution with the 22nd Amendment. The parchment which patriots signed with quills has been remodeled by high-powered politicians with ball point pens The 22nd Amendment is a shackle on self government. The American citizen has lost the right to vote for any man, any time, for any term as his president. The presidency should have be en left as it was planned in the Constitution, a document which placed no ban on utilizing ability and exploiting experience. Although legislators in three-fourths of the states approved the amendment, the people of all but 13 states voted against limiting a president to two terms the only times they ever expressed themselves on the principle in 1940 and 1944. The 22nd "Sour Grapes" Amendment was ratified to taunt Truman, ropudiate Roosevelt and discredit the Democratic Party. For such poor, partisan and inglorious purposes our Constitution has be on amended by a diversity of demagogues to protect u.s from an imaginary menace.
