This is the most urgent, most important action alert the American Policy Center has ever issued! The Ohio state legislature is expected to vote as early as Dec. 10th, to call for a Constitutional Convention (Con Con). If Ohio calls for a Con Con only one more state need do so and Congress will have no choice but to convene a Convention, throwing our U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights up for grabs. Ohio's vote today poses a grave threat to the U.S. Constitution. Please immediately call the Ohio lawmakers listed below. ACT FAST - time is of the essence!

Awright, that’s scary.
I assume you wrote that very recently.
And I assume you’ll be publishing it very soon - before it all plays out for real.
Ah, an anti-semitic, 9/11 Truther website. No credibility.
“In that case and if that happens, it’s time to unhitch Texas from the Federal wagon and go our own way”
Well I’ll be moving to Texas.
Do you allow folks to own firearms? :-)
“Millions upon millions of firearms and ammo, buried way back in the hills from sea to shining sea, will have the last word on ‘how’ or ‘if’ our Constitution is rewritten.”
You gonna shoot first, or are you gonna wait for them to knock on your door?
I hear alot of talk (and facts) of civil war and of a revolution and of gun sales out the roof. I have quite a number of guns myself. (I’m on your side)
The question is, if we wait for the zer0 imposter muslim’s militia to knock on our doors - it is too late.
If we wait for this grand agenda between Islam and the UN and zer0 and rewriting/throwing out of the US Constitution, then we are too late.
Ummmmm - I’m thinking it is just about too late. I hate to sound like a jerk here (pessimistic), but if 30 some states are already signed up for the con con (as in we are being conned), it is only a matter of time before a couple more states are bullied into signing up for it.
We are good at talking, but how did the 30 some states sign up for this without stronger resistance from active conservatives? WE are LETTING this happen right under our noses......
Even the Supreme Court is laying down like a wet rag at the thought of confrontation over the most grand LIE to ever come upon the US. The grand lie: A big zer0.
Forgive my off topic ping but I think people on your ping lists may have some interest in this topic.
If not, sorry.
Um, yeah. The ownership of firearms is highly encouraged. No registration of firearms with police is required, and there is no FOID card of any sort. Private sales are unregulated. :D
Nobody thought Congress would spontaniously spend (read: give away) a trillion dollars.
This stuff can move very fast - especially when carefully orchestrated behind the scenes for a long time. With enough hysteria - as Travis depicted - a lot can happen very fast.
Looks like >25 states have standing calls for a con-con. Those calls have been standing for a LONG time, as early as the ‘70s.
This is the first I heard of this too.
“If they want to try conclusions again, guess who has all the industrial base AND the agriculture AND the energy AND the guns this time around?”
The southern states? The Bible belt? Do we have a winner? ;)
No, the current constitution will continue to be the law of the land until the new constitution is ratified. I am not sure, but I think it must be ratified by at least 60% of the state legislatures before it will become the new law.
Either way, I feel pretty certain that Civil War II would break out before the new United Social States of Amerika (USSA) was formed. And if not, it won’t be because I didn’t try to start it!!!!
“Obama becomes president-elect and this place is now loonier than a nuthouse.”
Please don’t say we are nuts for being worried about this. Even if we may not know all the in’s and out’s of a constitutional convention, we are smart enough to know the possible outcome, given the dumbed-down populace and our current elected officials!
Please forgive the off topic ping but I think your ping lists will find this very important.
For some reason, this made me think of The Second Vatican Council. Scary.
3/4 of the state legislatures must ratify any amendments or new constitution.
There would be a splitup. And it would be the leftists that would insist that we be under their control. They will NOT let you live your life in piece outside of their control.
“Plans” are like strategy during a fight: everyone has one until they are punched in the face and then everything changes!
The problem is that all these lobbyist will be allowed to have their “input” into our new constitution and even worse all the D@MN lawyers!
Arms will be the only acceptable solution to this Constitution crisis, IMO!
“...my BS detector is arcing.”
So is mine....and I’m seeing a ton of knee-jerk reactions and not a lot of substance.
FYI all, this appears to be legit.
A constitutional convention requires three fourths of the states approval (presently 38 of 50) as the minimum necessary to ratify. See Article V.
I agree with you, as will most of the FReepers, but the issue with your statement is that Senator Obama, along with most liberals, believes that those are “negative” rights! And they want a new constitution that says what the government must do to you..uh...er..I mean FOR you! Freudian slip of the fingers!
This is the inherent problem with every new law and idea that comes out of EVERY politician. They write laws to make a stringent point, but laws cannot cover every single possible outcome and therefore they create the very thing they are trying to eliminate: loopholes! I used to think this was accidental, but it is way to common today and therefore MUST be intentional.
Our “new” constitution would be fraught with more loopholes, double-meaning, backwards junk than what the worst liberal leaning nut-job can decipher and congeal from our current one! God help us all, we are going to need all the over site we can get!
