Wish we could clone Levin and redistribute accordingly.
He deserves it!
Go Mark!! Great speech. Praying that they listen and act quickly. And that they actually ‘take the Country back.’
Is there a Book Reading Thread on FR?
I used to think exercising this authority would be a huge risk, danger or mistake. These days I think it’s the only chance we have left to save the nation.
I think we should got to convention while Republican control most of the State legislators.
We should propose the amendments mark talks about. and any others looking to turn our states back into THE center of Domestic policies.
When people have the right to vote with their feet they have the power to reinforce and protect the natural rights of the individual for it is an individual not a group that votes with their feet.
It is the man who works hard and merts what he earns that takes himself and his enterprise to lands where he may be free to enjoy the fruits of his own labor.
It i thou competition among states that their Governments are forced to reform and remain sane as Rustbelt/industrial and New England states have learned time and time again over the centuries.
Socialist collectivism only survives where there is a monopoly on policy, where freedom is nowhere found and even there its captive society suffers and dwindles under centrality imposed bad policy and suppression of every kind.
The Oppressive walls of theses Collectives of the 2nd world dammed only are known in the contrast with the free world. This is why they typically not only close themselves off from the rest of the world, but internally rewrite and suppress the history of their own formerly more free people so that their people cannot even see the freer world of the past.
In the long run competition between states and maintaining that separation is the key to holding in check destructive collectivism in all its evil forms.
it’s the $$$
the federales pass various legislation and they get the
states to comply by only providing federal funding if they
do
ie, if the states don’t comply with legislation about (say)
“disparate outcomes” in school suspensions or some such
ridiculousness, then the feds will stop funneling tax monies
from gasoline etc
quite slimey but thats politics
I agree completely with Levin that the power of the fed must be taken back to what it was intended to be in the first place-but the chain the fed has on the states was forged gradually with federal/taxpayer money over many decades.
I may be wrong with this-but I think unless the states start saying “no” to those funds, even incrementally, they will continue to be controlled with the threat of those funds being taken away-the Common Core crap is a fine example of that-so is Obamacare-you’d think the sky is falling the minute those funds are threatened. Some states have said “no thanks” to some fed funds, but unless more do so, the fed will still have the whip, no matter what else is done...
Mark Levin is today’s Thomas Paine.
Vast powers have swirled into the executive branch without our consent. We have two years at most to reclaim our republic.
Events of the last month show it to be a near total waste of time to petition members of congress. It is time to become acquainted with, and conversational with your state assemblymen and senator. Petition THEM to do their duty and demand the absolutely necessary and constitutionally required Article V convention to propose amendments.
Now that 0bama has admitted to and in fact “made law”, what sort of amendment, outside of our current impeachment mechanism, could effectively force such a tyrant to be directly removed from office?
Could a process directly removing the executive via the states be a possible solution?
I see he hasn’t been around much unless he changed his name. So I pinged him.
One step in the right direction would be to outlaw corporate political action committees organized by businesses, another would be to outlaw federal, state, and municipal government employee unions.
Article V ping.
Our Founders were fortunate in that they had at least a decade of George Washington writing to them, meeting with them and pointing out what was truly at stake - way before they attempted to write the Constitution.
And, all of the Founders were on the same page regarding moral philosophy meaning that no one questioned first principles, which kept arguments to a minimum and they were able to wrap up their work in only 4 months.
I like Mark's idea but we need fully informed legislators.

But the movement is crystallizing rapidly. What's even more astonishing is that this movement is the result of the efforts of a single man, Mark Levin.
Thank God the amazingly far-sighted Founders gave us this option. It may be the last hope for this constitutional republic.
A hearty Amen!!!
I pray that the states have the cajones to do this and follow through.
The regime has doubled down in the recent years - nationalization of the banks, nationalization of the health care industry, the IRS abuses, the too numerous to count regulations from the EPA and other bloated bureaucracies, the amnesty push and Obama bragging, "Yeah, I did change the law", the more and more obvious Uniparty blurring of the parties, Boehner and McConnell offering no resistance, Obama and Holder pushing now to nationalize Law Enforcement, the relentless gun grabbing schemes, the supreme court stacking, constant race card. . you could go on and on. They are speeding up the process, and as many have noted, we need to push the Article V process along at a faster pace than originally planned. It's now or never.
Levin describes we're living in a post-Constitutional soft tyranny. He's right. Article V now or revolution sooner rather than later. It's your call America.
