The Founders didn’t have constitutional means to right the wrongs of George III. They were forced to make horrible war. We are not, IF we exercise the peaceful means the Framers bequeathed. And our job is much easier than theirs, for the only Form that needs abolishing is the popular election of senators.

I assume you know how to count. Their side now outnumbers our side. There isn't going to be a peaceful righting of this ship.

The Financial threat we are facing will only be solved if entitlements are scaled back. What member of the Free Sh*t Army is going to give up their unearned money?

They will see us at the polls, and they will win.

Give up before the battle if you wish.

Where our republic is headed is no secret to state legislators. They chafe under federal diktats. Most state legislatures meet for a 2-3 months per year, after which they join the real world. It is not reasonable to equate them with the US Congress. Many members are business owners. Most know first hand the damage that is being done and our trajectory.

The fact that almost three dozen states have participated in the Assembly of States to organize the parliamentary rules of an amendment convention speaks loud and clear.

I say there is no alternative to Article V. What say you?

Amen to that. Praise the Lord and pass the ammo. Been saying that for 20 years or more, look at my tag line.
