To preserve and restore this republic as it was founded we need a constitutional convention in which the states reassert their 10th amendment rights.

No, the fault does NOT lie with the Constitution. The fault lies squarely in the laps of the People. WE are the ones who have been 'educated' into idiocy. Trusting government to teach us what our Rights ARE is ridiculous. We have got to reeducate everyone as to what the Constitution is and means

If you want to stop being a federal slave, STOP claiming to be a federal citizen!

“It is quite clear, then, that there is a citizenship of the United States, and a citizenship of a state, which are distinct from each other and which depend upon different characteristics or circumstances in the individual”.
Slaughter-House Cases, 83 U.S. (16 Wall.) 36; 21 L.Ed. 394 (1873)

“...there was no such thing as citizen of the United States, except as that condition arose from citizenship of some state
United States v. Anthony, 24 Fed. Cas. 829, (Case No. 14,459)(1873)

“We have in our political system a government of the United States and a government of each of the several States. Each one of these governments is distinct from the others, and each has citizens of it’s own...” United States v. Cruikshank, 92 U.S. 542 (1875)

“The rights and privileges, and immunities which the fourteenth constitutional amendment and Rev. St. section 1979 [U.S. Comp. St. 1901, p. 1262], for its enforcement, were designated to protect, are such as belonging to citizens of the United States as such, and not as citizens of a state”.
Wadleigh v. Newhall 136 F. 941 (1905)

So please STOP thinking a Constitutional Convention is a good idea, because with all due and honest respect....

you have NO CLUE as to what you're messing with.

we are clearly two nations, red and blue.
I think its time to seriously consider making it official.
