I think it would be easier to just get a super majority of states to just simply abolish the federal government.
This would not remove the constitution, considering the constitution provides for this scenario.
DC is the problem... not the states.
Lets just abolish it and reform it from scratch...
somewhere central and protected from the libtards on the coasts.

I am good with that. I just want to do SOMETHING before the country all goes to hell in a handbasket.
"DC is the problem... not the states."
I am in full agreement with you on that.
"Lets just abolish it and reform it from scratch... somewhere central and protected from the libtards on the coasts."
Which is kind of the idea I had. Cut off the other states that depend upon those in "flyover" country until they understand that they need us to survive. Slowly build the Union back state by state.

Jurisdiction of interstate commerce belongs to the federal government per the constitution.
However, the constitution provides a mechanism whereby states may call a constitutional convention for the purpose of adding, modifying, or removing amendments.
One option would be for the states to call such a convention for the sole purpose of removing the 16th amendment which provides for the collection of individual income taxes. This amendment allows for the full measure of the federal government to be brought against individual income earners and removed the states as intermediaries.
Remove this amendment and the federal beast risks starvation by biting the hand of the states who feed it...
Do it NOW, while we still have a super majority of "red" states (if still true).
