Eric O'Keefe

Eric O’Keefe is the chairman and CEO of the Sam Adams Alliance. O'Keefe is most well-known for his support of term limits. In recent years, he has claimed that politicians became less accountable and less responsible starting when state governments took over the printing and distribution of [http://www.ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=Ballot ballots] from private political parties.

Work

A founding board member of US Term Limits, Eric drafted the plan for a term limits sweep across the country in 1992 and 1994. By early 1995 twenty-three states had limited the terms of their congressional delegations, but five judges on the US Supreme Court reversed the decisions of voters. Fifteen states now have term limits on their legislatures.

O'Keefe's book, " [http://eric-okeefe.com/books/ "Who Rules America] ," looks to the country's founding principles to make the case for term limits. It won praise from the late free-market economist Milton Friedman.

Eric also serves on the Board of Directors of the Club for Growth and The Institute for Humane Studies.
