Sen. S.I. Hayakawa was virtually laughed off the Senate floor for proposing this same Amendment. Of course the Democrats were in control of the Senate, then. Today, the Democrats are still control of the Senate, they just let the Republicans SAY that they are in the majority.
It remains to be seen whether the Dems will allow this to pass. There is popular support in the US for it, but that has never swayed the leftists. Hopefully, as another posted noted, it's time really has come.
If we are ever going to save this Republic, it must start with having a common language. Start letting your elected representatives know that you want to see it pass.

"It remains to be seen whether the Dems will allow this to pass. Republicans won't even let it pass.
In about 1986 we put the question on the Republican primary ballot in Texas. It passed with 97% of the the vote. The next time I saw the Republican Governor I asked him if he would support legislation and he just laughed in my face.
