Wisconsin Senate approves calling constitutional convention (state #16)
news8000.com ^ | 1/25/22

Wisconsin has become the 16th state to call for a convention of the states to consider making a variety of changes to the U.S. Constitution, a move that drew bipartisan opposition in the state Senate but not enough to block its approval.

The resolution had passed 15 states, mostly in the South, before Wisconsin became the first since Mississippi in 2019 to approve it. Congress must receive requests from 34 states to convene a convention of the states.

A clue for you FRiend …. I have talked to liberals extensively over the years I’ve been on God’s Earth. I’ve had liberals tell me for decades …. We can fool Conservatives 24/7 and Conservatives will not realize they have been fooled. When Conservatives retake the media and education of the young; come back and we may talk. Till then …..

...And so will end the US constitution as we have known it...

In case you have not noticed we are currently in the middle of a Communist Revolution. The only reason it has not completed itself is because two of the enemies Senators have decided not to play along. In other words we have nothing left to lose,

Thank you. Usually logic and reasoning works on FR. But formCOaS, for certain freeprs, that goes out the window:

“Soros will hijack it!!!” —Useful Idiot

(Exactly how, as defined in Article V, can that happen?)

“I don’t know, but IT WILL HAPPEN!!!”—UI

(Facepalm)

Check out my links under the graphic and then come talk to me. Liberals are afraid of Article V. It is the damn Chicken Little's that have kept it from happening for over 200 years. Not even an impending Civil War was enough of an incentive to convene. (They did have a mini convention but it was too little too late)

That is how you fight them. The enemy already has unofficial control by way of evil judges and faceless bureaucrats. The decline started with Mulbury Vs. Madison when the Supreme Court became the the Court of Supreme Whim. The other two branches enjoy the life long black robed lawyers having the final say . It allows them to dodge the heat which is why the Court has the final say to this very day. Article V has the power to end that.

My vote is NO. Any convention is too easy to hijack. That is my opinion. I cannot trust the lamestream media nor can I trust true and a fair election process so to me a convention is a mute point. Once a convention is begun and the gavel falls all card are on table. Too much of a risk imho

It takes 34 states to call for the convention and 38 states to ratify anything coming out if it. Nothing is going to happen.

It needs to be tested, all the way, so that next time, we are a bit smarter about the whole process!!

Like all the other detractors all you can do is repeat your fears over and over again. How about actually offering counter points to what we say? For example, this current resolution self dissolves if it goes outside of its boundaries. This will be a historic event. The whole country will become involved in the debate. Explain how our Communist enemies could get away with a run away convention once this provision becomes well known?

There will be no more 2A or Electoral College and a hate speech restriction on 1A.

The media is much more than the inbred Communist corporate media. It is patriots like GAB , Mark Levin and Veritas. The word gets around no matter if the gate keepers like it not. Notice how we carry on a conversation here , for example.

And you know this HOW? Crystal ball? Time machine? I can make unsupported claims too. It will make it legal to toss leftists out of helicopters! Hey why not? It's happened before.

If 38 state legislatures are willing to impose “dictatorship”, there’s no hope anyway.

No Hope without blood.

Nothing left to loose? Your life, my life, your family’s lives, your friends’ lives? Nothing?

No Hope without blood, in that case.
