Don't let this happen. Refuse to support anything that goes beyond the 17th amendment discussion.
The Conservative Objective ========================== Hold a Convention of States to deprecate the 17th amendment and give back to States their ability to determine the method of selecting their Senator to the U.S Senate.
Progressives Objective ====================== To co-opt the Convention of States, initiated multiple and conflicting debates and changes until such point as it transitions into a quasi Constitutional Convention or otherwise dies an ignoble death with no actionable outcomes.
Governmental agencies are legislating rather than Congress. That’s one thing we need to limit. Obamacare is full of “to be defined by the secretary of health”...meaning she’s the one to write the rules where the rubber meets the road. EPA is another out of control legislative body. And, when did the IRS get SWAT authorization? Why is the post office buying ammo?
Yes yes yes! It's simple, effective and cannot be cheated.
I still don’t get the attraction of an Article V Convention: Calling a convention to pass new amendments, when the PTB don’t obey or ignore the ones we already have?
