We will just have to agree to disagree.

I still believe that any kind of convention dealing with the constitution will be the death of the republic. Even Texas and Florida could not guarantee solid blocks of conservative delegates. Too many possibilities from Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Miami-Dade, etc.

I think a convention will ultimately result in a Parliamentary system, and we will not be able to stop it.

Agree to Disagree is fine, but I would ask you to consider what’s happening now...

We have a Judiciary that makes laws...we have states that were in open defiance of Federal Immigration law...

We have states allowing governors to shut down business, enforce a dress code and stop religious services...

We have elections with no safeguards or integrity at all.

We have career politicians on each side that we can’t seem to get rid of...

We have two very unequal systems of justice, one for the elites, one for the average person...

I could go on, but I ask, do we really have a representative democracy now ?? I say yes, but we won’t if we continue much longer...
