Please.  Don't take my word for it.  Listen to Bill Clinton.
And Ronald Reagan.  Both former presidents have gone on record
opposing the 22nd amendment, calling it anti-democratic, a
restriction on the rights of both candidates and the American
people.

"I've always thought that should be the rule.  I think as a practical
matter, you couldn't apply this to anyone who has already served, but
going forward.  I peresonally believe that should be the rule."
- Bill Clinton, MSNBC, 11-8-2011

"That is, if I were writing the rules, I think there was a very strong
argument for telling -- for saying you shouldn't serve three terms in a
row .... People get relaxed, there's too much opportunity for people --
even if not for corruption -- just for bad things happening for the
taxpayers by the same crowd being in all the time. [...]

And if we change the constitution it shouldn't apply to me.  That
is, it shouldn't apply to anybody who served.  It should be all
forward-looking so no one would think it is personal.  But that's
kind of what I think it should be."
- Bill Clinton, MSNBC, 2010

"I think presidents should be limited to two consecutive terms, then
after a time out of office should be able to run again."
- Bill Clinton, in a debate with Bob Dole, 2009

"This is the only office that is elected by all the people.  I think
that is an infringement on the democratic rights of the people.  And
now that I'm out of office, so that they can't accuse me of wanting
to do it for myself, I'm going to see if I can't mobilize the people
to demand the repeal of that Amendment.  It is an invasion of their
democratic rights to vote for whoever they want to vote for and for
however long."
- Ronald Reagan, interviewed by Tom Brokaw on NBC, 1-18-1989

Imagine that.  Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, Lee Lofaso.
All on the same page, promoting democracy for all.
