I think it's time for the Super Duper committee!

It's called a “Constitutional Convention” in which the several states get together and cut the size of the federal government back to the 1800’s, install strict term limits for all elected officials and abolish every government employee and every bureaucracy not specifically authorized by the constitution.

I'm not being facicious here either. I don't think we can fix this out of control government by electing a few conservatives.

The Framers put in the option for the states to call a Constitutional Convention for this exact scenario that we now face. How smart they were. Now lets get started doing it!

Read about the process here.

No flicking way would I turn over the rewrite of our founding document to the current group of people in this nation. You have a 50% chance of getting what you want. Horrible odds.

Let’s just back to the rules already in place in try that first.
