Please consider asking your state legislature to call a constitutional convention to:

1. Ratification of an amendment repealing the 16th amendment.

2. Grant states sole responsibility for the collection of taxes from individual citizens and business except for tariffs.

3. Restrict congress from creating any law or taxes not specifically related to granted authorities as defined by the constitution.

Currently approximately 2/3 of the States are Red States. A 3/4ths majority is what would be required to ratify the constitution but it is doable!

The 16th amendment gave birth to the Federal Government monster and the states are the ONLY entity that can possibly reign in the feds.

If it can be repealed we will have a much better chance of stopping the destruction of America. As part of the act of repeal, congress may not create any law not specifically related to its constitutionally authority.

Now is the time. The polls indicate a very low congressional approval? Most everyone agrees that Congress has overstepped its mandate considerably.

Almost half of the state legislatures are considering or have representatives preparing to introduce resolutions which reassert the principles of the 9th and 10th Amendments to the Constitution and the idea that federal power is strictly limited to specific areas detailed in the Constitution and that all other governmental authority rests with the states.

Now is the time!!

Getting the states to reclaim their rights guaranteed in the US constitution is probably the best way to control the monstrosity that 0 is trying to create.

The federal govt has no right to undertake most of what it currently does.

We are no longer the United States of America, just America.
