Obamacare is only one example of the expansion of the federal government beyond its constitutional bounds. While amending the state constitutions in this one instance is worthy, the fundamental political need is to restore the original allocation of power between the state and federal governments in the US Constitution. We can accomplish this by promoting amendments to the US Constitution to restore its original meaning and structure.

The first step is to put through an amendment to the amendment process itself which will eliminate the unnecessary convention now required by Article V and permit States to directly initiate amendment proposals. This will end the current de facto federal congressional and judicial monopoly on interpreting the Constitution, and empower grassroots patriots on the state level to restore the Constitution by amendment.

The Constitution doesn’t need to be amended to be followed AS IT’S ALREADY WRITTEN. What then... the powers that be in Washington DC simply ignore the new amendments like the whole rest of the Constitution is already ignored now?
