I like your ideas. An excellent list to work. Others are coming out in this thread.
You mention the States, and I alluded to some of the problems I see. Example: Last weekend, the AZGOP voted in their annual meeting to Censure Juan McQueeg for his liberal, Democrat loving ways. Before we get all happy about them doing that, let’s bear in mind they had to be dragged to it screaming and kicking by the rank and file (The Censure was a Floor Motion, brought to a vote because 20% of the State Committeemen signed a petition). The rank and file aren’t going to be the people to decide on the delegates who go to an Article V convention. No, they will be the people who were dragged.
Not only will they not do what they want, they will settle scores. With us. In the process they will give the liberals whatever they want because they don’t have an argument.
I have to assume the GOPe is just as sclerotic in more than enough states to yield a pathetic majority of conventioneers.
The rats control DC. All of it. The America of my grandparents is a memory. America is a police state. Yet there is one avenue, a gift from our framers that is outside the control of our oppressors.
You may be right. Our only hope is enough state legislators act on what they all know. I am under no illusion that America is salvageable. I am however, positive that history will not look well on a people who gaffed off the chance to restore republican freedom. If we do, we deserve the misery that awaits us.
