“Our backs are against the wall. Even if the dangers are as you say, our once republic is now an authoritarian state, where the law is what Obama and his criminals say it is. “
Good point. The convention of states is the voice of the states against overbearing federal authority. Such a convention will produce amendments that shift power from the feds toward the states. That is at the core of what will happen. Anything related to the 2nd amendment, 1st amendment, or such would be too far off the focus of such a convention and would never get sufficient support—although some wacky states would propose such crap in order to form a quasi-coalition with the fed govt apparatus—think California and Illinois who might seek to form an economic backup amendment funneling fed funds to states that can’t manage their piggybanks.
Convention of states politicians are not the same as fed politicians because these two entities are competing for the same power, that is, the power derived from the labor and taxes of the working citizens. A difference is that the states are closer to those citizens and far less able to show citizens disrespect. Another difference is the between-states competition that is not much of a fed issue.
The convention of states is a good idea and the only predictable, managable idea for avoiding the disaster that the fed gov’t is racing towards. Otherwise, the numbers are clear—the US is driving toward the situation of Argentina,, Japan, Greece, and other hopeless economies
I remain amazed at the resistance to reclaim our republic.
At this moment, the President of the United States, the Tyrant Obama is leading an invasion of our southern border. He coordinated with at least Mexico and Guatemala to overwhelm our defenses. His intent is to destroy the value of American citizenship and reduce us way below that of Argentina and Greece, to that of slavery.
Congress will do nothing that opposes the individual interests of its members. It is up to us to take the peaceful measures the Framers bequeathed
Meanwhile, too many at this forum can't see beyond the (R) following a name on a ballot. I refer them to Einstein's definition of insanity.
