How close are we to the point where the risks of a Constitutional Convention outweigh the risks posed by the trajectory the federal government is presently on.

This may be the last peaceful option we have.

But the outrages in this article are not the only dangers to liberty. The greatest danger is that government is imposing debt serfdom on everyone in its grasp. That is made possible by the lack of limits on spending, borrowing and money-printing. Being able to create money out of thin air enables government to be far bigger than it otherwise could be if it had to balance its budget with tax receipts alone. So, the monetary profligacy we have in many ways is the foundation for many of these tyrannous actions.

A Convention is the only way to solve all these problems.

“How close are we to the point where the risks of a Constitutional Convention outweigh the risks posed by the trajectory the federal government is presently on.”

“A Convention is the only way to solve all these problems.”

Your statement makes no sense whatsoever, we already have a constitution, what we need to the will to enforce it.

Jefferson summed it up quite nicely, “A people unwilling to use EXTREME violent force to obtain or preserve their liberty deserve the tyrants that rule them”

They gave us the 2nd amendment to enforce the US Constitution, Jefferson also said, “When the people fear the government you have tyranny, when the government fears the people you have liberty.”

The Feds don’t follow the current constitution so what would make them follow another one? The only way to stop a bully is to make him beg and cry in front of everyone. The states will need to force the Feds to back down.
