I would like to see a request from each of the States for a Constitutional Convention. I think Congress and both parties would wet themselves. We The People have to take control and Congress works for us.

The Constitution is just fine the way it is. No one, and I mean no one, in politics today should be permitted to get their grubby mitts on it. We don't need to change the Constitution -- we need to return to what is there in plain print.

Mercy...are you WRONG! We have to change the Constitution to insure that PLAIN LANGUAGE is interpenetrated as it is written (and insert such language as required). That is the problem! Too many of the Supreme Court judges seem to think that it is their responsibility to interpret the words as they wish. Damn them all...

You are missing a big point here. I said I wanted to see a request from each of the States for a Constitutional Convention. That has nothing to do with changing or rewriting the Constitution. What it would do is show Congress (ie. the Dems. and Repubs. ) they are in violation of the Constitution. By that you would see a dramatic change in their spending habits. It would be putting them on notice.

No body wants to rewrite the Constitution. We just want both parties to follow it.
