Should legislative term limits in Michigan be extended?

	Eliminated - we should abolish term limits
	Extended - if elected, legislators should be able to serve more terms
	Left Alone - 2 terms for the senate and 3 terms for the house
	They already serve too long - 1 term in each chamber is long enough
