#2 and #5 is the big ones. Give power back to states and de-fang the feds in the purse.
Well said. Pursue Article V would be their rallying cry if they knew what was going on now.
Most FReepers are aware of these links, but I post anyway for review and for people new to Article V. It is our responsibility to make Article V the most understood aspect of the US Constitution.
The longer we wait, the bigger the risk of secession or outright civil war.

I remember what you said a while back: “I am not content to put myself in the hands of one prez, nine blackrobes, and 535 congressmen from a distant, mentally detached, and oblivious, Rome like city-state.”

Madison and the other founders could not write words to prevent corrupt men from destroying freedom, what reason is there to believe that anyone now living can do even as well, let alone better? Added words simply create more opportunities to pretend to find meanings that don’t really exist in the language.
