WOLVES IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING?

In the late 70s and early 80s, many grassroots Americans found out about the movement for a new Constitutional Convention (con-con). By 1986, 32 of the 34 states needed for a new constitutional convention had passed calls for a convention. The reason used for this call for a con-con was for a balanced budget amendment. Sounds great doesn’t it? However, it was a ruse used by those who want to radically change our constitution and basically destroy the founding fathers’ document. Many of the states and most of the legislators that called for a con-con did so without any public oversight or knowledge, basically because it was a good sounding conservative idea to require a balanced budget amendment.

Seven to ten of the 32 states have succeeded in recalling their calls for a con-con, including Alabama, Louisiana and Florida. The opportunity to change the constitution exists in Article V, which says the constitution can be changed in two ways, either by two-thirds of both houses of Congress sending an amendment to the states and three-quarters of the states ratifying it, (which is how we have ratified every amendment since the Bill of Rights). The other way is to have two-thirds of the states, that is, 34 states petitioning Congress for a Constitutional Convention. When the latter is used, the entire document is taken down and re-examined.

The proponents of a con-con under the guise of a balanced budget amendment still believe that if they get another two states who call for a balanced budget amendment that they can open a convention, despite the states that have recalled their calls. Con-con supporter James Dale Davidson of the National Taxpayers’ Union even stated that he didn’t care if the con-con couldn’t be limited to the Balanced Budget. As well, Henry Hazlitt (renowned conservative) was the NTU’s economic advisor wrote a book in 1974 entitled, “A New Constitution Now.â€

We don't need a new Constitution. A Constitutional Convention amidst this band of liar, cheaters and thieves in our federal and state governments would most definitely be the fait accompli by globalists and socialists to end our nation.

The only thing we need to do with the Constitution is enforce it and of course pass the FairTax legislation and within the 7 year sunset provision, repeal the 16th Amendment.

Aside from the 16th Amendment, there's nothing wrong with what's in our Constitution, what's wrong isn't with what words are in our Constitution, it's with what people are in our government. Pass the FairTax, take back the power of the people by controlling the purse strings as the FairTax allows, and then kick these liars, cheaters, thieves and traitors in our government to the curb without pensions and health insurance. They'll soon realize the grotesque errors of their ways, and those to follow will know better than to repeat those errors.

We do need to remove the strong arm of the Internal Revenue. Removing the Internal Revenue Service is a good idea. I have no idea what "can of worms" a Constitutional Convention would open. Scary

The IRS reared its head about 1918. The IRS retains the legal authority to enforce liens and seize assets without obtaining judgment in court. Also scary.

They remain the strong arm that has in the past and will in the future take from the working... so politicians can distribute the fruits of America’s labor force, AND, will be force that will oversee and carry out the planned destruction of America by taking from the working people and giving to the non-working. It is an institution that for many years has served at the pleasure of third world dictatorships across the globe…all which makeup the majority membership of thugs who operate under the banner of the United Nations.

Confusion reigns

I too have allowed every issue in this article to settle in my mind now filled with worry. The hard fact that “We The Peopleâ€

You got that right!
