"Hugo Chávez apparently doesn't believe Venezuelan voters, who just
more than a year ago rejected his bid to eliminate the term limits
that are blocking his continued rule. On Sunday, he is giving them
another chance. For the sake of Venezuela's democracy, they should
again vote no on changing the nation's constitution. . . . .
Voters should not yield. Mr. Chávez needs to be reminded that
Venezuelans believe in their democracy and cherish their right to say no."

Term Limits and the Council

"The City Council is expected to vote on Thursday on Mayor Michael
Bloomberg's proposal to revise New York City's term-limits law. The
proposal would allow the mayor and most of the city's elected
officials to run for a third four-year term. We urge the Council to
approve it. . . .
We are fully aware that this proposal has stirred great controversy,
not least because New York City voters twice voted for term limits, in
1993 and 1996. . . . . . "
