Article V ping!
You don’t actually believe delegations from the red states could reach agreement with delegates from the blue states? If that could be achieved, there would be no reason for the convention.
Thanks for your work, Jacquerie.
I see a high priority in securing the ballot box. That obvious shortcoming is in our face right now. A lot of other good things would happen from that.
Definitely something to consider prior to an Article V for the defined purpose of an article V.
“Until recently, a vast private media pounced on restrictions to free speech.”
The most potent, frightening and malicious change in our polity in my lifetime!
I don’t see any problem with parallel tracks.
Work toward restoring the Framers’ separation of electors through repeal of the 17th, as well as election reform.
But the odds favor something like Nancy and Chuckie’s HB1, which will ensure rat congesses and presidencies for the foreseeable future, will pass.
BUMP for consideration.
Agree.
The most cancerous amendment by far is the income tax. It makes us all into little more than free range slaves and turns the District of Criminals into a huge pot of loot free for all. I suggest a balance budget amendment that keeps on whittling down Federal spending until the debt is gone and the income tax is no longer needed. (Then kill that tax!). Somehow America survived over a century without the Income Tax, about time we return to those days.
The problem as I see it is that the supreme court has failed in its duty to protect the constitution.
Instead it finds penumbras where none was intended, twists logic into a pretzel to find a tax, and refuses to use it's authority when it senses that it might be unpopular. The supreme cowards and the partisan stooges on the court, (you know who they are) have wrecked the constitution.
I might add the current junta needs to be swept clean. They are rigging the game to rule us forever. Toss them all out with an amendment that prevents them from ever holding office again. The French Revolution had all those guillotines for a reason.With Article V we can remove these corrupt swamp critters without the violence.
And, of course, the international nature of the media is directed against Senators- reinforcing the objections to the 17th amend.
Though I don’t see any way to take their elections from the “mob”.
There still is some of the Founders anti-democratic intentions for the Senate preserved even with their election as they still have state interests. The most notable example (though highly overblown) is Manchin.
It has been a slow process this gradual erosion of liberty. The first important injury was when the Court of Supreme Whim granted itself the power to be the last word on the law. Jefferson knew it was bad . It even led to Civil War and probably will again if America fails to use Article V this time around.
Article V is a tool of globalist deception. Don’t let ‘em fool you.
Yes, the ends justify the means.
So say the Democrats who happily stole an election just to get Trump out of office.
But hey! Let’s keep pushing this Article V COS stuff so we can kill the republic and replace it with a Parlimentary system. I am sure Nancy would love to become our first Prime Minister!
Absolutely... If we, as a people, lack the necessary stones to oversee and enforce voter laws now, what makes us think we would do any better at a Constitutional Convention...
We can't even get up enough steam to defend our own borders against foreigners.. Why would we think that we could do a better job against our fellow countrymen.??
Well, I'll confess, I think I can stand the foreigners a whole lot more then the commie left... :(
All public servants take oaths to protect the Constitution, congressmen and senators included.
What typically limited our pre-17th government wasn’t the public virtue of public servants. It was the separation of electors: popular election to the House and State legislature appointment to the senate.
I addressed that point in the article.
Finally, someone who knows about humans...
