Ahhh a naysayer...do you know what the COS is, what it’s about or what it’s for?

In general terms yes BUT - my main point is, the United States has a perfectly good Constitution, if it were followed. But power of the States and individuals has been increasingly usurped by Fed.gov, and its cronies - purely by the fact they can derive money out of the creation of debt.

I agree with you whole heartedly. However it has been proven time and again Congress is centralizing more and more and removing power from the States. Our forefathers foresaw this hence they penned in this wonderful article into the Constitution as a last gasp to reign in Federal over reach and bring power back home to the local level.

The discussed amendments thus far come form the Freedom Amendments such as
Impose Congressional term limits
Repeal the Seventeenth Amendment, returning the election of Senators to state legislatures
“Impose term limits for Supreme Court Justices and restrict judicial review
Require a balanced budget and limit federal spending and taxation
Define a deadline to file taxes (one day before the next federal election)
Subject federal departments and bureaucratic regulations to periodic reauthorization and review
Create a more specific definition of the Commerce Clause
Limit eminent domain powers
Allow states to more easily amend the Constitution by bypassing Congress
Create a process where two-thirds of the states can nullify federal laws
Require photo ID to vote and limit early voting”

It’s a beautiful article we all should be rejoicing. Congress along with the courts WILL NOT follow the Constitution and there is no one there to hold them accountable
