There is already a ‘new Sheriff’ in waiting and it is comprised of 7,398 state legislators.

Here’s what they need to propose as an amendment to the Constitution:

To redress the balance of powers between the federal government and the States and to restore effective suffrage of State Legislatures to Congress, the following amendment is proposed:

AMENDMENT XXVIII

Section 1.
A Senator in Congress shall be subject to recall by their respective state legislature or by voter referendum in their respective state.

Section 2.
Upon a majority vote in two-thirds of state legislatures, federal statutes and federal court decisions shall be overridden.

Section 3.
Term limits for Senators in Congress shall be set by vote in their respective state legislatures but in no case shall be set less than twelve years.
________________________________________

Now if Section 1 is replaced with a repeal of the 17th Amendment, then that’s even better but it may be a hard sale. Recalling US Senators gets the job done for state legislatures.

With the above amendment, there would be no Obamacare, no same-sex marriage nonsense and so on.

But But But... “more laws will never make a difference” & “It’s just another amendment for them to ignore”...

This is a STRUCTURAL change to the constitution. It can NOT be ignored... That’s what the “con con” crowd doesn’t understand...

And anything out of the Article V Convention for the proposal of Amendments would have to be ratified by 3/4 of the states...

Read my tagline... Reality is regaining control of Fedzilla...
