You mean men like Donald Trump? If a Convention was called do you think he would sit on the sidelines?

In 1776, our founders signed the Declaration of Independence which ended with:
“And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.”
These men represented the wealthy, the influential, and the well-connected. When men of such means are willing to fight for these beliefs, the average man will follow.
But the average man is not able to do this on his own; at best, he’ll end up like John Brown.
Each state gets one vote. You only need one true patriot per state. Even less actually because any human committee is only actually energized by a few bold voices.
Politicians are timid creatures by their very nature. The ones that stand out usually get nailed. They LOVE the attention and benefits of their office so they avoid controversies like stolen elections.They rather enjoy their comfy existence for election after election. A Convention of States however is a one time deal not done in over 200 years. It would not be business as usual.
America won WWII—IMHO—by shear brute force—by overwhelming the enemy with man power and hardware. The Left is using the same tactic to destroy America: Overwhelm with indoctrinated robots with the help of the media. Their tactic is a winner and unless we can convince people what is happening then it is truly over.
I believe Rush would be saying, “It’s time to panic...”

Rush used to be opposed to the COS as I once was. Levin convinced both of us otherwise.
Power grows out the barrel of a gun...
I’m sure he would support it, but I don’t recall him advocating for it.
Stupid idea. You and that other COS guy are nuts. The Dems would take it over so fast your heads will not even begin to spin before their guillotine chops them off. There is not ‘safeguard’ you can enact to prevent them from circumventing it - just like all the other laws.
COS was made for honest intelligent educated people with common sense of which their seems to be huge lack these days.
There is now only the unused box to fix things. All else is wishful thinking and magic.
Wow! I had no idea we had a scholar among us who is smarter and wiser than our Founding Fathers. I will defer to your opinion. NOT!
how many cycles at the ballot box before moving on to the next?
The RATs are already trying to Nationalize the Elections in spite of half the country convinced they stole the last election. They know they've crossed the Rubicon and have to seize total power to crush their opposition. Either that or face the consequences for their endless crimes. As I mentioned in the essay our days are numbered. We have to act now or lose it all. They will very likely get the Senators they need in the next election. We have nothing left to lose.
Too many people think an Article V Convention would turn into a free-for-all Constitutional Convention, with EVERYTHING up for grabs (notably the 2nd Amendment).
The public needs to know that AMENDMENTS ONLY may be discussed and voted. Also, the choice of a chairman for the convention will be crucial, and while Donald Trump would be an inspired choice, I believe Mark Levin would be even better. (Mr. Trump never showed enough passion about the Constitution, IMHO.)
So … choose the Amendments carefully, choose a chairman wisely, inform the public about exactly what will take place, and all ahead flank speed!
Time will tell FRiend, time will tell.
Absolutely ! The real issue is some of the amendments which pass will fail to be ratified because it takes 3/4's of the states to do that.
I guess you missed the part about who the COS was intended to be used by and you and your lot are not them.
More magic.
What it really does is allow full socialist control of what was once the USA. You lot haven’t a prayer of stopping them by sheltering in your utter naivety
What an amazing coincidence! I've come to the same conclusion about you and your lot!
Perhaps you have forgot Congress has the same power to propose amendments. Once they Nationalize Elections how long do you think we have before they get 2/3's of both Houses? We have nothing left to lose.
You must be in love with magic if you imagine your pitiful COS will control the Socialists when you can’t even do that now.
You lot, imagining you are equal to the Founding Fathers, imagining there will be discussions, have no clue what you are up against with this magical and naive thinking.
