Sarah Palin expressed support for a Convention of States this morning on the Fox News show, “Cashin’ In” with Eric Bolling:
“On a state level I think it’s very important that we find candidates and elect them, who would be willing to call for a Convention of States if need be,” she said. ”Because that is the tool the people have to rein in government.”
It’s been a great week for liberty. Also, Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist for the Washington Post George Will endorsed the Article V Convention.
As the list of pundits, leaders, and politicians who support a Convention of States grows, you can find out more about us here and join the movement here.
The Convention of States is a project of Citizens for Self-Governance.

If not, I see no other option than certain state beginning to nullify the fed followed by financial Independence from the feds.
And take it from there.
Freedom is hardly won, easily lost, rarely recovered. But I think freedom is worth the price. I hope I have the courage of others before me who died for freedom. Woe is me if I don't.
OOPS—I should have fixed the paragrapghs. Sorry.
I hope we win Bro.
The country is so far gone, this is the only approach that makes sense. If people would just take the time to read about the Convention of States approach, they would realize that done correctly, there is ABSOLUTELY NO CHANCE of a runaway convention.
That sounds great, but how do you keep the Liberals from coming in and trying to drive the agenda?
I’m for it.
Mainly because I look at what America has now become, and see there is no longer anything left to lose. Might have seemed too a dangerous gamble in the past to attempt such a thing. Not anymore.
How do we know the progressives wouldn’t take this over and do away with the 2nd amendment?(for instance)
The Convention of States would limit what could even be considered! Here’s the plan from the COS website....
Plan: COS’s plan is twofold
1. We want to call a convention for a particular subject rather than a particular amendment. Instead of calling a convention for a balanced budget amendment (though we are entirely supportive of such an amendment), we want to call a convention for the following purpose: Limiting the power and jurisdiction of the federal government.
2. We believe the grassroots is the key to calling a successful convention. We would like to build a political operation in a minimum of 40 states, getting 100 people to volunteer in at least 75% of the state legislative districts. Only through the support of the American people will this project have a chance to succeed.

In addition. it takes 2/3rds to propose, and 3/4ths to ratify. Right now, REDSTATES have close to what we need. But the window is closing—the longer we wait, the AMNESTY bomb will turn the purple states blue and the chance to take back our country will be lost forever.
IT’S WINTER AT VALLEY FORGE.
Really? “Do away with the 2nd amendment?”
It would take THIRTY EIGHT (38) states to ratify a 2nd amendment repeal... Do you think a 2A repeal would even make it out of the convention?
Here are your options as I see them...
1) Article V convention
2) State Nullification
3) Peaceful secession
4) CW2
A message from The Convention Of States:
The AZ House has just passed SCR1016 The Convention of States Project Resolution.
Due to efforts by the Lead House Sponsor, Kelly Townsend.
There are safeguards against this, even statutory by the respective States, to retain control over the delagates.
Ultimately, the greatest hurdle that progressives cannot overcome is the 3/4 ratification requirement.
BTW, do you think the progressives were worried about us when they proposed and ratified their 17th Amendment?
Obama determines what the law is.
Tell me of the actual, not paper personal protections that are still in effect.
We have nothing to lose, and everything to gain.
Sarah is always on the side supporting real change and true freedom.
Paragraphs are your friends; you do not need to avoid them!
Unlike almost the rest of the Bill of Rights, the 2A is alive. It exists not because it is written, but because there are supporting groups that promise to make electoral life very uncomfortable for politicians who think otherwise. Oh, and there are more guns than people in the US.
Over the past eighty years, the Left has gotten everything it hoped for and more without an Article V convention. It would be silly for them to promote one now.
Have you read either Levin's book or conventionofstates.com? If not, you should.
“but a COS could make things even worse” is not a valid argument
