The federal government is broken. Our only Constitutional redress is Article V and a Convention of States. Is it risky? Possibly, but to do nothing is derelict. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." - Edmund Burke.

Research links on the Article V process and the Liberty Amendments:

Convention of States - Alabama Way to go Alabama! A good introduction.

'Convention of states' to rein in government? Another great summary explanation.

The Case for an Article V. Convention. Fantastic explanation of Article V convention to the Mass State Legislature.

I would recommend watching the above three videos first and then:

Convention of States Lots of information here.

Article V Project to Restore Liberty Another good source.

Excellent Article V Letter to a State Assemblyman by Jacquerie

Let’s all work together to get this going.

We owe it to The Founders and ourselves to attempt a rational Article V amendment process. Congress is not going to propose liberty amendments. If the Article V Convention of States doesn't work, or is hijacked, then fine, it's on to what we're all expecting anyway, revolution. It's your call America.

Please explain to us, what is the plan to get an IRRATIONAL, lawless, post-Constitutional government to abide by the Liberty Amendments (and the existing Constitution for that matter) if ratified via civil means?

If we agree the current government system is lawless, destroying the civil society and is post-Constitutional - and if we agree that this Article V process is the last civil chance we have at restraining an out-of-control oligarchy, how do you propose to get that system to abide by further yokes, when it has dismantled and ignored the ones already codified in the Supreme Law of the Land?

What is the plan for that? Or are you just focused on the exercise for the sake of saying 'we tried'?

If you want to get more Americans on board for the effort and the cause, explain how you intend to get a neo-dictatorial tyranny that has ignored the rule of law to adhere to what is passed in new additions to the rule of law so our support of the effort is not in vain.

Personally, I'm of the opinion that the effort at this stage will end up no different than the Olive Branch Petition if there is no plan to effect it's implementation upon the lawless who now rule us.
