Get serious and call a constitutional convention to fix this forever.

I'm sick and tired of hearing Conservatives be scared of a Constitutional Convention. They fear it would replaced the Constitution, but that's already being done. They fear it would destroy our rights, but no group can take away our Natural Rights. They fear it would increase the federal government's powers, but the federal government does that on its own. They fail to remember that, unlike federal legislation and Supreme Court decisions, any proposal from a Con-Con would have to be ratified by 38 States in order to go into effect.

We have nothing to lose by holding a new Con-Con. Stop being afraid!

Interesting. And furthermore, this might be the direction we’re FORCED to go. Or perhaps we’re already there.
