I'm not talking about that at all, it's too late for that. You can vote in communism but you can't vote out of it.
I'm my opinion it's time to forget about DC entirely. Washington is totally corrupt and beyond repair.
In my opinion we should focus ALL of our effort at the state level. Use our time, effort, money and votes to take over conservative states and nullify federal law on a mass scale. Codify the federal government out of our lives. All the power and money resides in the states and always has which is the way our republic was supposed to work in the first place. This is already starting in Texas and other states as well. I don't give a crap who controls the house and senate if their unconstitutional laws stop at the border of Texas. As an example we are going to nullify all federal gun laws and make enforcing them a crime. It's in the works and it's going to happen.
I totally agree with your assessment that we can only take back what is rightfully ours and ignore what goes on in Washington. I only hope that it never reaches the point where Washington decides to once again put us under Marshall Law as they did from 1865 - 1877.
Still, I believe an amicable separation is the best way forward, and that is the primary reason I cannot support any convention dealing with the Constitution (including COS). My belief is that such a convention would make it even more difficult to obtain our freedom.
