Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security
The issue at hand.

It makes one think what these men would have tolerated in this day.

If those men, who wrote the Declaration of Independence in that day, and then defended it with their very lives...many of them losing their lives...if those same men were alive today, they would either all be dead, or they would have effected change, at the point of the sword if necessary, away from the anti-republican, anti-American policies of this day.

I think one of the issues is that the Signers of the Declaration of Independence were elected by their states. To do this correctly, there would need to be some sort of cohesive group.
The Constitution DOES allow for future Constitutional Conventions to be called by two-thirds of the states whether the federal government likes it or not.
