The only way to solve this problem short of civil war is for the states to hold a convention, propose amendments and regain their sovereignty over the federal government.
As little as three constitutional amendments or changes to amendments could completely neuter the federal beast.
- remove the commerce clause
- balanced budget amendment
- eliminate direct election of senators(remove the 17th)
- an amendment strictly limiting government to those specific powers granted in the constitution. This would eliminate nearly every federal bureaucracy in existence.
These are just suggestions but you get the point.
It only takes a couple changes to make this federal beast extinct.
I'm afraid this is our ONLY viable option outside of brutal civil war. We outnumber the left by a huge margin but NOT in Washington. We need to fight this fight on our turf and we must do it while the red states are still red.
Sounds to me like you listen to Mark Levin. Either that, or you’re following the same line of thought he is, anyway.
Levin has been saying that the answers do not lie in Washington DC. That no matter what we do or don’t do, it’s futile to look there for answers. Says he’s working on a plan of action at the state/local levels.
He wants Boehner challenged for Speaker. He wants someone to step up and challenge him even if they lose. Have to start somewhere. And the someone should be truly conservative, articulate and passionate
But when all is said and done, his bottom line is, don’t look to Washington. He’s not advocating a third party because he knows that only helps Democrats and again puts the focus where it can’t work...the level of federal elections.
Nor is he disowning every Republican in Congress...he says the LEADERSHIP level is hopeless.
