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.

I share your concerns but what if nothing is ventured? If the public gets behind this effort will it cause Congress to say, "Hey, these guys are serious, we better pass these Amendments ourselves." Will it have an effect on the overall political landscape? If the public is educated about the process, will it catch fire? I do believe "we tried" is better than nothing. What is your solution to the mess were in? The way I see it, it's Article V or, do you want us to just jump in now for the revolution?
