You are right, something needs to be done, but the Con-Con is NOT something we should even be thinking.

Alright - I can take abuse, but DO NOT associate me with DU ...

And I agree, the courts should be allowed to determine the constitutionality of healthcare. But what if they rule that it IS constitutional? Then, we are stuck with it.

But, a Constitutional Convention could produce other amendments - it would have to be a co-ordinated effort amongst the states. There are many things that 70-80% of the public agrees on.

Now - just think about it ... what about:

1. An amendment defining "natural born citizen" - as the Founders knew it. As it stands, we are stuck with BO for now, and God forbid, a second term. Do you want it to happen again in a future election?

2. An amendment stating that all legislators shall affirm that they read each and every piece of legislation before they vote on that particular piece.

3. Make it illegal for anyone to offer any inducement [Cornhusker Kickback, etc.] in exchange for a vote.

4. Remove ALL "pork" from ALL legislation. All "pork" to be consolidated in ONE bill - and EACH piece to be voted on separately. Names and votes to be recorded on each piece.

This is a way to hold legislators feet to the fire ... The Constitution can be cleaned up - without the BS that comes out of Washington ...

I heard Mike Church or someone discussing this on Sirius Patriot a few days ago and liked the idea at first. But the more I thought and researched it the less I wanted it. It just seems rather drastic, there are better options at this time.

There have been several drives calling for a Con Con, by the far left, dating back to the70s. They have been working on this long and hard, they have a plan in place, which would not go well for us or anything we want. A call for a Con Con would be playing right into their hands.

The Constitution is not the problem, those elected to represent us are the problem, we need to stay focused on flushing them.
