“would be opening the door for progressives...”
That is my fear as well. It seems that something that starts out as a good thing is perverted to bad ultimately.
I fear that the libs will be in the majority in the not too distant future.
I fear you are RIGHT!
Maybe we should not do anything, maybe we shouldn't fight to our last breath, maybe we should just pull the covers over our head and let them have it.
Maybe NOT. Maybe we should use the fomula the founding fathers gave us to fight back. Maybe?
You are absolutely right about that! The way things are going, it's a sure bet that one or two more presidential election cycles will pretty much erase any real constitutional conservative from the federal government... unless we do something... and I'm thinking that this Convention of States might be just the thing.
I know there are folks out there who say that we just have to vote for the good guys and eventually things will turn around. Well, I don't know about you, but I've kinda been doing that for over 40 years, and as far as I can see, that ain't working out so well
Frankly, the prospect of an amendment imposing lifetime term limits on all federal officials is the primary reason that I support this movement. Since the Supreme Court in its infinite wisdom ruled that the voters of a sovereign state don’t have the right to impose term limits on their own locally-elected federal delegation, I can see no other way for us ever to bring an end to the modern-day phenomenon of the “Career Politician,” including those who wear black robes to work.
Resolving that one issue, I believe, would go a very long way toward eliminating many of the most pressing issues that we face. Washington, DC, without a doubt, has become the most powerful city in the world, and no one who enters its enormous sphere of influence can help but be changed by it... and usually not for the better.
Anyway, I'll give you this link to a previous post I made here, just in case you missed it. If you're interested, it's a discussion of reasons why no one should fear a Convention of States. What we should fear is what will happen to the country if we do nothing.
