A Convention of States to propose amendments (COS) is NOT a "constitutional convention". PERIOD!
The stench emanating from many of the AZ politicians really fouls our otherwise pristine air and sky. We will have our own “Earth Day” next election.
As per my rants that Sarah Palin should also consider pushing for patriots and former Obama supporters to try to win 2/3 “conservative” control of both Houses of Congress in 2014 elections to override presidential vetoes, please note the following. 2/3 control of both Houses is also what it takes for Congress to propose an amendment to the states.
So regardless of her approach to having the states initiate a Con-Con, I’m curious as to why Sarah isn’t trying to work both options of the Constitution’s Article V for proposing an amendment to the Constitution to the states.
I’m actually sitting right now in the Arizona Senate Gallery. I was sitting at a local library reading the latest News about the COS (Convention Of States). Mr BIG is holding up the vote and I’m part of the team trying to get it past him. Like Reid he just changed the rules AGAIN. Instead of a majority of the majority being needed you now need a majority of the whole Senate. Since my rep is the Senate Minority leader (Katie Hobbs District 24) I thought I might as well go downtown and make my case in person. I have a backpack with my computer I’m typing this with .( Nobody bothered to look in it! ).
A recess has now been called. Time to Freep!
