Everything after repeal of the 17th is icing on the cake. Because of it, we overnight went from a federal republic to a democratic republic of the very sort our Framers' plan avoided. By it, the national government was consolidated in DC rather than dispersed among the states. It so much as invited an eventual Obama to come along and wrap himself with despotic powers.
Yes, the 16th amendment, made ridiculously progressive is also a horrible affront to a once free people.

I think the first thing that must be done, before anything else, is to bring about an end to voter fraud. I want to see purple fingers brought to the USA. Do away with massive absentee voting and make real people show up at the polls, and then make them dip their finger in ink.
I want to see how many gardeners and leaf blowers, who can't speak English, have purple fingers after election day.

Well put. I agree.
The Constitution must be amended in such ways that will FORCE obedience by D.C. politicians by eliminating wiggle room and that will also reduce the power and influence of the federal bureaucracy.
Make careers in Washington unattractive to power-hungry, greedy snake oil salesmen. If your blood isn't already boiling, read Peter Schweizer's book, Extortion. Then watch Mark Levin on CSpan-2 tomorrow at noon.

That purple ink would solve all our fraud problems, only military gets to vote absentee, and make that purple ink last three weeks so they can’t vote in early then general.
As a FReeper said, Vote Fraud will come to screeching halt when it is determined to benefit republicans.

That’s a mistake. That box doesn’t even need to be shaken, much less opened.

Carson/Palin? How about Cruz/Palin?

I have never been in favor of this, Rep. Judy Boyle, R-Midvale, told IdahoReporter.com. I am too fearful that it would be a runaway convention. People have tried to assure me that it wont happen, but they havent convinced me. I dont know that there would be amendments proposed at a convention like this, so much as there might be a complete change made to our Constitution. I know people mean well, but Im not willing to risk our Constitution. "She is 100% correct. A CC would be the end of America as we have known it.

“The first reform is to boot the popularly derived demagogues from the senate and return the senate to the states. James Madison determined this vertical separation of power between the states and the new government they created was central to securing our liberty.”
How ‘bout a different perspective? Perhaps the Constitution itself was not designed to secure liberty. Or as Patrick Henry noted in his refusal to attend the Constitutional convention that he smelt a rat in Philadelphia, tending toward the monarchy.”

Cruz is still a Canadian citizen. Carson would do what Herman Cain should have done: make it mathematically impossible to lose. Cruz and Carson have different styles, and Carson is, in my opinion, the style we need for wider appeal to sell certain ideas (yes, we need to convert some demo rats).
Don't mistake me, I love me some Cruz. But I want the sure thing.We cannot afford to lose next time. The demographics are not in our favor.

A CC would be the end of America as we have known it.We already have a Con-Con. It's called the federal government. An Article V Convention would be a way to counter the Con-Con that is the federal government.

We have a runaway Constitutional crisis every time Obama issues EOs, his departments spew reams of new regulations—and everytime the US Supreme Court meets.
Washington will NOT reform itself. And the window of opportunity for restoring our Constitution is closing. Once the Amnesty Tsnuami turns Red States Blue, FUGGET ABOUDIT.

We now have a red state advantage. The amnesty bomb is designed to blow that up. The window is closing on America. It’s now or never. No individual can save us—only We the People can do that now. The greater risk is in doing nothing.
