For a Convention of the States dedicated to Georgia’s application language, which would re-balance citizens’ rights versus federal power and state power, the count is 14 down, 20 to go.
For a Convention of the States dedicated to a balanced budget amendment only, the count is 30 down, 4 to go.
Regarding balanced budgets, since US dollar is the reserve currency of the world, the US needs to supply liquidity, in USD, to the world. No USD liquidity, and world trade will suffer/halt.
Via Federal Reserve rules, the USD is loaned into existence. The USD is a “note” (Federal Reserve Note) - a debt instrument.
If the debt is paid off, and the budget is balanced, then there will be no USD anymore - crazy huh!
So under the existing system, the system will likely collapse when the national debt is paid off.
This means to me that if there is a balanced budget amendment, then the rules about how the USD is created need to be changed as well.
Let’s git er done!
And a huge WOOOO HOOOO for Utah.
along with many prayers that we pick up more.
I’m so proud of our COS organization in Texas. Since we had passed our COS resolution in 2017 we have gathered a group of several hundred boots-on-the-ground activists. We are using our army to continue working to get things done in Austin. I’ve already spent quite a bit of time in Austin with my COS friends working on bills this session and next week am shifting gears to go down for Faith and Family Day at the Capitol to take a stand against several bills which would threaten Biblical living in Texas.
Folks need to get active. We need more people who, for any reason, aren’t required to be at work or home to go visit these legislative happenings. However, if you can’t to testify before committees or corner your representative in his office, call them! (see tag line)
Not directed at you Publius my friend. Just trying to stir up some Conservative folks willing to play by Alinsky’s rules.
I would love to see a balanced budget amendment passed.
We NEED term lints this must be addressed in a convention of the states!!
