    IMO the Libertarian Party is the only one that makes sense for the USA! After the primaries I'm registering as a Libertarian.

    I feel the same way. If they can get enough people, we might be able to get a viable third party.

    In fighting the illegals, we have all been called every name in the book, plus a few they made up just for us I think those of us here have become immune to name calling.

    There's a very good reason for splitting the nation into regions, xyz, and it is simply this---the banking interests of this country have brought this nation to the verge of economic ruin. Their power needs to be diffused. My proposal, doesn't just dismantle the federal government, it regionalizes the federal reserve banks. No longer will they be controlled from Washington D.C. Each regional bank will be autonomous. Some would argue that even this doesn't go far enough, but their power needs to be diffused . . . AND FAST. Else folks, our country is going to resemble Mexico in a very short time. Signs of that are already evident in our society.

    You raise some good points gofer. The reality is that most Americans want big government---polls indicate that. What's been missing over the course of the past few decades though has been COMPETENT big government. I personally believe we need a government of the type that operated under FDR's administration. You are also correct with respect to the status of the Democratic party---hijacked by the far left. Just as the Republican party has been hijacked by excessively greedy globalist interests.

    That thermostat proposal just got shot down by the way.

    Again, xyz, Sabato is not actively pursuing a Convention as this time. He just wanted to have the subject become a topic of national discussion. He is on record as saying that a Convention is "a generation away."

    My proposal, Cayla, is anything but what you suggest. Both Mexico and Canada do consist of provinces as you correctly point out. However, in both cases, there is a central federal government (outside those provinces) that ultimately rules them. My proposal creates truly AUTONOMOUS REGIONAL REPUBLICS, each with their own federal governments. Big difference. And this would definitely put a monkeywrench into any plans for an NAU.

    Don't just blame the "socialists" apropos. America's globalist laissez faire capitalists are the ones who have truly sold out your nation. They're the ones who have sent your manufacturing jobs overseas and who are paving the way for a North American Union.

    As per worrying about the likes of Hillary or Ted Kennedy rewriting the Constitution, don't. As previously indicated, it is the state legislatures that drive a Convention. Any delegates to a Convention would more than likely be state representatives themselves or those appointed by them---state government officials in short.

    With respect to the libertarians, sturmruger, I admire them for their desire for personal freedom. However, they are not realistic in my view with respect to national security. In an age of WMD's, you have to have a strong military. The "shotgun on the porch" mentality may be good for individual self-defense, but it won't cut it for a nation.

    Giving up America is unacceptable. The NAU is unacceptable. Capitulation to a foreign power is unacceptable.

    We have a central federal government and a federal constitution. Each state has a government and a constitution. It worked very well until foreign powers and their lobbyists were allowed to interfere. The shotgun on the porch is what will keep America what she is, a sovereign nation.

    Generations have lived with the threat of WMDs. That is nothing new. The fact that we were attacked here means that shotgun on the porch is now not only our right but a necessity.

    The invasion enabled by our local, state, and federal governments will not be accepted. Our right and duty as Americans is to hold our governments to the constitution. If elections don't do it the shotgun on the porch will.

    If this government can field an army against Americans, there won't be anything here worth getting. Why? Because fighting for America and fighting rich men's wars are two different things. Man, woman, and child they will have to kill us all because the battle will never end.

    For anyone shocked or offended by this attitude, tough.
