As an Article V supporter, I recently did so.
"Hard" provisions are in force. We still have a congress, president, scotus, electoral college, even-calendar year elections. Oh, and of course the restrictions on state power in Article I Section 10 are strictly enforced.
"Soft" provisions, which is nearly everything else, are ignored.
Vast powers delegated to congress are now within the executive branch. Scotus is little more than Obgama's rubber stamp.
The American experiment in republican government is gone. Understand? There is nothing to lose via Article V. The power within Article V, just like the 9th and 10th Amendments, exist without their inclusion in the constitution.
For you to write, I’ll be working the other side marks you a despicable low-life.
Apparently, FR has it’s own share of LIV (that’s low information voters for those of you in Rio Linda)...
There are more than enough threads on FR for you to educate yourself as to the Article V process, procedure, benefits & pitfalls...
If you haven’t noticed, the “living” constitution that has been created by the executive & judicial branches is what is killing the country. Voting alone WILL NO LONGER solve the ails of the country. It is going to take STRUCTURAL changes to the constitution via amendments (repeal of the 17th and term limits to start) to right the ship and it will take HARD work and patience.
Regardless of any of this, Jacquerie works TIRELESS hours both on and off of FR to promote and educate for Article V. Rather than “Working the other side”, give us some of those ideas from the “other side” and let’s see your SOLUTIONS...
I know where I’m throwing my support because here are your options...
1) Article V Convention to propose amendments
2) State Nullification
3) Secession
4) CW2
The founders included Article V for the times they knew would be coming and THEY ARE HERE! Based on my readings, they would be SHOCKED that states had not already called a convention...
Well ... don’t sign on to a political campaign to talk to people about the issue ... your people skills are a bit lacking ... LOL ...
