Pretty weak in terms of showing that this really is a current, real, focused effort of any significance. I see more, bigger, real threats to be concerned about.
And exactly how are you going to prevent a constitutional convention from being hijacked by the statists?
This would be a very dangerous move, requiring extreme vigilance on the part of the Republicans (face it, they will lead the conservative caucus) to avoid being steamrollered by illegal voting to elect the delegates, bait-and-switch delegates, etc. Considering what happened to the Hillary delegates across the country in the 2008 campaign, to expect the Republicans to do better against the Axelrod/Ayers/Soros crowd is silly.
This kind of crap has been going on across the board, often under the guise of saving money.
My governor would like to get rid of all these pesky townships that won’t enact ordinances he and his urban friends like. There are others who want to consolidate all the school districts in the county into one.
Where does the power to do this come from? I live in an unincorporated part of the county. There is no State Police office around here that I am aware of, just sheriffs. Who will they send if I need LEO help? Democrats need to be abolished.

PA is eliminating the local Tax Collector.
It can and has been done in the past. Are we so weak kneeded or ignorant today, that we just sit back and allow a tyranical, out of control federal government to destroy our lives and the lives of our protegy?
The states calling a CC, is the best, safest, and least bloody method of shoving the federal beast back into its cage before it's too late; it's a safeguard left by our founders to use before resorting to the 2nd. It takes a bit of courage, but as Winston Churchhill put it, "if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than live as slaves."
Make that progeny instead of prodigy. ;)
Jan 2, 2013 Court decides on how much power sheriff has.
127 sheriffs won’t enforce Obama gun laws.
Freeper needs a “thumbs up” option!!!!!
Exactly!
Do a FR title search on the word “Sheriff”, you’ll see a couple of pages of headlines, sheriffs all over the country saying they won’t enforce BO’s gun grab.
I thought like 20 years ago that it would not be possible for the federal government do things like patrol our highways which is left to the individual states and subdivisions of state police/highway or state patrols or local cops. Unfortunately now, I can see it where there is a possibility of having a national highway patrol and that role could be played by TSA. Already done in TN with commercial vehicles.
Personally, I was pulled over in Missouri for speeding back in Nov 2007. I passed a Homeland Security police car with US GSA plates and about 20 miles down the road, I got pulled over by the MO State Highway Patrol and the DHS guy was with the patrolman behind him. What I remember is the patrolman went back to the DHS car and came to mine. When I dealt with the court for the speeding ticket, I was not even allowed to plea bargain the ticket. I was told if I attempted to plea bargain, I would expect other charges to be filed besides speeding.
For those who don’t know: Deleware has only 3 counties, the least of any state. 88 is the average.
Consequently it may be the test case for the democrats to centralize all power to the state, in preparation for the next move to all federal power.
guess I’ll have to tame it down.
“Are we so weak kneeded or ignorant today, that we just sit back and allow a tyranical, out of control federal government to destroy our lives and the lives of our protegy?”
Yes. Otherwise there wouldn’t be a need for a Constitutional Convention.
Or
No. That’s why our adversaries need a Constitutional Convention they can over in order to succeed where they can’t now.
