SnyderTalk Editorial: We Need Term Limits Now

Editorial, Old Posts

Jeremiah 12: 14-17

Thus says Yahweh concerning all My wicked neighbors who strike at the inheritance with which I have endowed My people Israel, “Behold I am about to uproot them from their land and will uproot the house of Judah from among them.  And it will come about that after I have uprooted them, I will again have compassion on them; and I will bring them back, each one to his inheritance and each one to his land.  Then if they will really learn the ways of My people, to swear by My name, ‘As Yahweh lives,’ even as they taught My people to swear by Baal, they will be built up in the midst of My people.  But if they will not listen, then I will uproot that nation, uproot and destroy it,” declares Yahweh.

Jeremiah 31: 11-14

For Yahweh has ransomed Jacob and redeemed him from the hand of him who was stronger than he.  “They will come and shout for joy on the height of Zion, and they will be radiant over the bounty of Yahweh — over the grain and the new wine and the oil, and over the young of the flock and the herd; and their life will be like a watered garden, and they will never languish again.  Then the virgin will rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old, together, for I will turn their mourning into joy and will comfort them and give them joy for their sorrow.  I will fill the soul of the priests with abundance, and My people will be satisfied with My goodness,” declares Yahweh.

Falsely Accused

Falsely Accused is a true story about a young woman who was accused of committing a double homicide.  It’s about a travesty of justice, and it reveals Yahweh intervening in the life of a believer to rescue her from danger in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.  Everyone will enjoy the book, but young people in particular need to read it because the mistakes made that led to the problem could have been avoided.  They were the kinds of mistakes that young people are prone to make.  As they say, forewarned is forearmed.  Click here to order the eBook.  Click here to order the paperback.

We Need Term Limits Now

We need term limits.  I’ve heard that said since I started paying attention to politics.  It seems as though most voters understand that the real problem we face as a nation sits at one end of Pennsylvania Avenue in the Capitol building, but they aren’t willing to complete the drill by actually imposing a solution that they know is needed by passing a term limit amendment to the Constitution for members of Congress very much like the one restricting the number of terms that a president can serve.

The odds of being re-elected to Congress are staggeringly high, and as Jay Haug points out in his blog titled “Why Congressional Approval Ratings Are Meaningless,” it’s been that way for a very long time with one notable exception — the 1980 Senate election.  In 1994, the year of the Contract with America, Republicans pledged to bring to the House Floor within 100 days of being sworn in several pieces of legislation including The Citizen Legislature Act that would limit the number of terms of Senators to 2 and the number of terms of House members to either 3 or 6.

That bill did reach the House Floor, and it passed by a vote of 227 to 204.  It would have limited the terms of Senators to 2 and the terms of House members to 6, but amendments to the Constitution require a two-thirds majority or 290 votes so it accomplished nothing.  As 2011 draws to a close, we still don’t have a term limit amendment to the Constitution for members of Congress and talk about a term limit amendment to the Constitution is still just that — talk.

Since 1994,our nation’s deficit and debt problems have spiraled out of control; Standard and Poor’s has downgraded US debt; we’ve raced toward socialism at breakneck speed; and presidents routinely bypass Congress to advance their agendas despite the fact that Congress has the authority to impose spending controls that it deems necessary.  In other words, Congress can prevent a president from acting unilaterally if it so chooses.  The only thing missing is the will to act.

Haug concludes by saying,

“Here is the bottom line. If Americans really plan on doing anything about Congress, two things will eventually happen. First, voters will demand that the whole idea of ‘safe districts’ be dismantled by an independent commission, turning Congressional races more competitive and therefore more susceptible to turnover. Secondly, regardless of redistricting, voters will be more willing to vote their own congressman out of office.”

I beg to differ.  This is the bottom line.  Unless voters demand an amendment to the Constitution that will limit the terms of office of senators and House members, nothing will change.  We know for a fact that once our legislators have established themselves in office they suddenly think that they are indispensible, and they cut deals to protect their coveted seats.  We need to show them that they are wrong.

Joel 3: 17-21

Then you will know that I am Yahweh your God, dwelling in Zion, My holy mountain.  So Jerusalem will be holy, and strangers will pass through it no more.  And in that day the mountains will drip with sweet wine, and the hills will flow with milk, and all the brooks of Judah will flow with water; and a spring will go out from the house of Yahweh to water the valley of Shittim.  Egypt will become a waste, and Edom will become a desolate wilderness, because of the violence done to the sons of Judah, in whose land they have shed innocent blood.  But Judah will be inhabited forever and Jerusalem for all generations.  And I will avenge their blood which I have not avenged, for Yahweh dwells in Zion.

God also said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘Yahweh, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.’ This [Yahweh] is my name forever, the name by which I am to be remembered from generation to generation.”
