Kerry: "Constitutional Amendment to establish permanent Political class".
Click this link and you will realize campaign financing, special interest, federalism and term limits can be solved by getting back to what the framer envisioned. Thirty-Thousand.org

Not correct. The ConCon is one way, the other way is through 2/3 majority in congress and ratification by majority of states, if I’m not mistaken (I hope I’m close).
Either way I don’t want any such amendment that seeks to limit the 1st amendment.

Anyone who opposes the recent Supreme Court Decision on FREEDOM OF SPEECH is not familiar enough with the Founding Fathers, their writings, and the Constitution of the United States of America!
Vote them out of office.

John Kerry is nothing, zero, nada. He toots his horn just to show how stupid he is.
Has anyone ever thought that he “swiftboated” himself by going to Vietnam, making an ass of himself there and then betraying real heroes by siding with the enemy?
He is an obscure senator. Case closed.

How about a Constitutional amendment to eliminate the election of Senators? Then they won't have to worry about campaign spending, since there won't be any campaigns for 33 of the most expensive elections every two years.

Libs will never get this passed.
Let the French-looking Senator do what he does best: Bloviate.

A dangerous position to be in. Congress can propose an amendment to the United States Constitution. This starts the ratification process and it must be ratified by 3/4 of the state legislatures...or of constitutional conventions specially elected in each of the states, before it can come into effect.
At such conventions, there could be no change to the Constitution at all. Other things could be done at such a convening. Could be a double edged sword for the politicians in DC. They'd best be very careful what they wish for.

Maybe Maverick John McCain will ‘reach across the aisle’ and say ‘my friends,we need to back this bi-partisan infringement on the 1st Amendment!’(again)

Good luck with that 67 votes needed to get out of the Senate!
