I agree with you for the most part. Thinking we are somehow going to right all that has gone wrong by voting in November is delusional at best. The Supreme Court has finalized the installment of a totalitarian government which has by definition no limits to it's power. Hoping we are going to "Vote" ourselves free in a general election is like planning to solve your financial problems by winning the power ball. It's not likely to happen. Now, November is comming and yes we should certainly try to do it that way but we need a back up plan or maybe even a primary plan with the election being the back up. That plan is a Constitutional Convention. Where we differ is I don't think a breakup of the Republic is the way to go. Simply use the Convention to amend the constitution and strictly limit the federal government as intended by the founders. It's past time to fix the bugs in the system that allowed the disease of government to grow wildly out of control.

Yes it's time to call a Constitutional Convention. The "red" conservative states outnumber the blue by a significant margin. We need to start to the process now as it will take quite a while. First is to decide by discussion amongst conservatives what amendments will be proposed. Obviously libs will have exactly ZERO input in this process.

Then we move to convention where our superior numbers will decide the proposed amendments. Then we put the vote to the states for ratification.

This is the readers digest version but that's it in a nutshell.

We have nothing to fear. We have the numbers. We have the will of the people. We have the blessing of god. We have the duty to take back our freedom. It is this very day that the framers had in mind when they wrote in the option to amend the Constitution by Convention. Now it is time to act.

“Members of this Court are vested with the authority to interpret the law; we possess neither the expertise nor the prerogative to make policy judgments. Those decisions are entrusted to our Nation’s elected leaders, who can be thrown out of office if the people disagree with them. It is not our job to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices.” — Chief Justice John Roberts

Fabulous metaphor!

As to a Constitutional Convention including the Marxists, I cannot see how that will end well. By hook and by crook the 'Left' always gets all their demands met... majorities never beat Marxists.

That plan is a Constitutional Convention

Lets see if the idiot right in this country can get past adopting the color red at the behest of the communist media first.

It's time for radical ideas, and the constitutional convention needs to happen ASAP.

34 states are required, don't know if we can get to that number.

The communists are currently in control of 15 State Legislatures.
