FWIW, since you brought up sovereignty in We the People, I gave the topic a shot last summer:

Oops! I should have done a better job of giving a footnote. Your blog is the main inspiration source of throwing “We The People” into my daily conversation ;)
When I was began asking Article V Convention questions right after the election I was given a link to your blog. I read thru all the posts in about 6 days. I’m a slow reader so that was fast for me. I was immersed in reading several different sources most of my waking hours for a couple of weeks to see if it really was as promising as I thought. Turns out, I find it MORE promising than I’d hoped IF we can get it done SOON.
I want to go back and re-read your posts more slowly (even for me) and carefully now that I have a little more time. There is other source information shared by a couple of other Freepers that I’d like to review also as I wait for our Texas Legislature to pass this :)
The daughter I mentioned is 31 now and has been more active in politics than I for the past few years. I’ve been politically active since my mid 20’s but I believe she has surpassed me. Her first experience as a delegate to the State Republican convention was at age 21 in 2006. She works in the oil business so not only stays political in her personal Christian conservative arena but business-wise as well supporting American energy legislation. I’m proud of all our kids but that youngun got her mother’s love of history and politics so she’s pretty special to me. I am actually very proud that as adults all 5 of our children have not fallen away from conservatism. It gives me hope. This year 3 of our grandchildren were old enough to vote and were all proudly conservative as well. I guess shoving my opinions down their throats since infancy wasn’t a waste of time. ROFL
