Rules for Radicals

Saul Alinsky is laughing in his grave. Democrats (Socialists) have expanded his rules to outright lies, exaggerations, and bogus accusations!

Governor William J. Le Petomane: "We've gotta protect our phoney baloney jobs, gentlemen!"
Blazing Saddles, 1974

See American Thinker Document below

While U.S. politics have always been confrontational and controversial, most vying candidates searched for factual information — opposition research — regarding the character of their opponent(s) to publicly use this information against them. If the uncovered information could not be corroborated, then a decent, honorable, and ethical cadidate would not use the uncorroborated data.

Today, WE see people on news channels just lie about opposition candidates. WE see the DNC and the Democrats candidate (Hillary) paying big bucks through a law firm (Perkins Coie) to retain a sleazy strategic research company (Fusion GPS) to hire a former MI6 intelligence agent (Christopher Steele) who wrote a 'dossier' which was a wholly uncorroborated fictional composition containing disgusting lies.

WE see Democrats (Socialists) in complete radical disarray led by the "Squad":

Whatever one may think about the above cartoons, the characterizations of the "Squad" are factual. The characterizations, accusations, and phony claims that Democrats (Socialists) shriek and scream at President Trump should demonstrate to any reasonable person that the radical Democrat faction of today's open Socialist party is attempting to destroy America.

Mainstream Media (ABC, BLOOMBERG, CBS, CNN, CNBC, Facebook, FOX, FOXBUSINESS, Google, MSNBC, NPR, PBS, Twitter, and various other Internet sites) have always used innuendo to plant their opposition ideas in viewers' brains. Today, however, at least one news company (MSNBC) just lies. So, what is going on?

Back in Hillary's college days, she invited Saul Alinsky to give a speech to students. Saul is formally known as a Community Organizer (like Barack). He wrote a handbook for Community Organizers entitled "Rules for Radicals" that explained to the "Have-Nots" how to demand reparations (for any grievance) from the "Haves". These Rules are very, completely on point for the actions of Democrats (Socialists) today. It is not possible to have a civil, factual, truthful political campaign that presents platforms and solutions today without some shrill attack from Socialists. Today, political opponents are mortal ENEMIES to be taken down anyway short of murder (tell that to Seth Rich). Socialists still mourn Hillary's very painful loss in 2016. Barack, Hillary, and Bill are working very treacherously in the background to destroy everything President Trump has and is accomplishing in only 2 1/2 years. George Soros and the Catholic Church funded the Central American hordes that have overrun the Southern border. George Soros and other revolutionaries fund all militaristic, revolutionary, Socialist and Communist opposition to Capitalism and Freedom throughout the world.

Rules for Radicals

  1. "Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have."
  2. "Never go outside the expertise of your people."
  3. "Whenever possible go outside the expertise of the enemy."
  4. "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules."
  5. "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon."
  6. "A good tactic is one your people enjoy."
  7. "A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag."
  8. "Keep the pressure on."
  9. "The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself."
  10. "The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition."
  11. "If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside."
  12. "The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative."
  13. "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it."

The only solution to this radical, explosive environment is to mute all shrill, emotional, whining Socialists followed by a search for facts and calm, cerebal discourse with conversations and rhetoric that focus on real motivational problem solving. Tune out the lies, stop exposing yourself to unworkable, radical failures. Work for yourself and a FREE COUNTRY. Fight against those who want to make America into another Venezuela. If you think of yourself as a Have-Not, then you have already failed, you have destined yourself to the gutter where Socialists live. Dream and work hard to make your dreams a reality.

Recommendations

I recommend two (2) movies for interested viewers. If Democrat voters (or any voter) want to understand what is wrong with their party, I recommend a documentary movie that contains a completely corroborated history of the Democrat Party. The documentary's title is: Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party. The documentary was produced by Dinesh D'Souza who was 'railroaded' by the Obama Administration into a kangaroo court controlled by a corrupt judge and sentenced to prison for producing another documentary, 2016: Obama's America. All FACTS presented in these documentaries are the historical evidence of the failure of the Democrat Party although the Democrats have many allies that support these Communist/Socialist attempts to destroy America, and no group of FAKE NEWS companies can deny the FACTS.

Professor Carol Swain, Poli. Sci. & Law, Vanderbilt U. for Prager University
Professor Swain appears in one segment of Dinesh D'Souza's aforementioned video.

While America has a Constitution that guarantees freedom of speech, it doesn't guarantee an everyday political education. If Americans believe in their freedoms guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, if Americans believe that Capitalism is the greatest creator of individual wealth the world has ever experienced (historical facts prove this assertion), then Americans should know the people and organizations who want to destroy America from within. Therefore, the best documentary available that exposes and identifies these enemies who have grown much stronger since the Russian Revolution is The Enemies Within.

Also near the end of The Enemies Within documentary, the video requests that citizens call their Senators and Representatives (those NOT affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood and other subversive Marxist organizations) to support S. 68: Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act of 2017 and H.R. 377: Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act of 2017. After watching the video, you will clearly understand why the Muslim Brotherhood is trying to destroy America from within. Many current Representatives and Senators are affiliated with persons and organizations whose precepts, behavior, and speech are as Marxist as Vladimir Lenin without identifying themselves as Marxist. One of these organizations has infiltrated America like a final stage cancer. These un-American organizations must be excised like a massive tumor. This is NOT McCarthyism since you will SEE and UNDERSTAND the evidence presented in the video.

"The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history."

Red Flags and White Supremacists

By Brian C. Joondeph, August 10, 2019

For the past two years, the left's 'go to' words were "Russia," "Mueller," and "collusion." Mueller's investigation and report were a big swing and a miss and not surprisingly these words have quickly been erased from the vocabularies of cable news anchors and their panels.

On a dime, coincident with a handful of mass shootings, the left's new favorite words are "racist" and "white supremacist." Since the three recent shooters were white, it can only mean they were all MAGA hat-wearing Trump supporters, NRA members, and of course, white supremacists.

Never mind that their actual political proclivities are left or far left of center, based on their manifestos or social media postings. In the eyes of CNN and MSNBC, they are racist Trump supporters just on the basis of their skin color. Think about that. The media and entire Democratic Party are judging an entire group of people on the basis of skin color. Isn't that the definition of racist?

[Editor's Note:
See DSA PLAN: Mass Shootings ]

As the Russian collusion story is in the rear-view mirror for Democrats and the media, it is dead ahead for AG William Barr, U.S. Attorneys John Durham and John Huber, and DoJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz, as the layers of the onion are being peeled back to reveal the seditious origins of the entire hoax. Which is why the media pivoted deftly to a totally new narrative of "white nationalism."

[Editor's Note:
Commentators telling the truth predict indictments, convictions, and prison time (probably at country club prisons where they can work on their golf games and tans). ]

With the backdrop of the shootings, gun control has predictably reappeared as a Democrat and media talking point. Aside from the usual cries to ban "assault weapons," whatever those actually are, there are calls for expanded background checks. Never mind that the vast majority of these shooters obtain their firearms legally, passing a background check.

Then there are the "red flag laws," which is the left's new approach to confiscating guns. These laws are unconstitutional three ways to Sunday, violating three of the rights within the Bill of Rights. These laws usurp the Second Amendment's right to bear arms, the Fourth Amendment�s protection from unreasonable searches and seizures, and the Sixth Amendment�s right of the accused to a speedy and public trial.

[Editor's Note:
The problem of massacre shooters is one of parental responsibility, child rearing and guidance, and youth education. Young people don't automatically learn respect for law and other people. They must be taught overtly by good role models. If you want a violent, mass murderer in your family, just raise your children in an atmosphere of daily, irrational violence rained on the kid in a background of irresponsibility, alcohol, drugs, and weapons. It is not easy to be a parent or teacher, but this is the obvious source of the problem. These shooters are irreconcilably lost. ]

My home state of Colorado passed such a law this past April, one of the consequences of voters giving Democrats control of the executive and legislative branches of a state. Other states have similar laws and there is now a push for a national red flag law. If President Trump is smart, he will see the color red before signing such a law, if it ever even makes it to his desk, as signing such a law may be a large red stop sign in his quest for a second term as president. Colorado�s law for example works as follows:

Allows family, household members or law enforcement to petition a court to have guns seized or surrendered based on a showing that someone poses a danger under the "preponderance of the evidence," a civil standard which means that the defendant is more likely than not to be a threat.

In other words, there is just over a 50/50 chance of accuracy, noting that someone's guns could be seized even without a mental health professional making a determination of any kind.

A subsequent court hearing could extend a gun seizure up to 364 days, and gun owners can only retain their guns if they meet a burden of demonstrating by "clear and convincing evidence" — a much higher standard — that they are not in fact a threat. Gun owners are "guilty until proven innocent" under this framework.

Evidence could be the word of a disgruntled ex-spouse, neighbor, coworker, or anyone else with a grudge against a legal and law-abiding gun owner. Those with an axe to grind will replace mental health professionals in assessing the accused's state of mind and potential threat.

In a state like Colorado, having had its share of mass shootings, red flag decisions will likely err on the side of caution, rather than evidence, needing little more than one person�s convincing diatribe to pass the "preponderance of evidence" threshold.

Once guns are seized, the bar is raised significantly to reverse the decision. The Mueller standard of justice now applies, as in "guilty until proven innocent." The accused must now exonerate themselves, or prove their innocence, before having their guns returned. Good luck with that.

What does this have to do with white supremacy? This past week, Trump supporters are now all "white nationalist" racists. Or as one University of California professor claimed, "white nationalist terror supporters." The Southern Poverty Law Center identifies hate groups including white nationalist, male supremacy, Christian identity, and anti-immigrant.

How long will it take before states, or the federal government, if a red flag law becomes nationalized, start to view any and all Trump supporters as "posing a danger" based on their skin color, gender, religion, and opposition to open borders?

I suspect that of the 62 million Trump voters in 2016, significantly more were gun owners than the similar number of Hillary Clinton voters. What better way to disarm the population than to go after those who own guns, in this case, Trump supporters?

Would a red flag law be applied to dangerous leftist groups such as Antifa? Not likely as these laws are being enforced by liberal Democrats. If you think I'm exaggerating the leftist sentiment toward Trump voters, "Death camps for Trump supporters" fliers turned up at various locations on Long Island this week.

Not only Trump supporters, but also those who don�t buy into the man-made global warming hoax. Bill Nye, the bow tie guy, "is open to criminal charges and jail time for climate change dissenters." Is it a stretch for some bureaucratic panel to determine that someone not buying into the climate change movement "poses a threat" and shouldn't be allowed to possess a firearm?

[Editor's Note:
See Socialist AOC: CON Game and Junk, Fake Science ]

Is the "white supremacy" talk just a way for flailing Democrat presidential candidates to attempt to gain some traction in their campaigns? Or is this "white nationalist" rhetoric a way to paint Trump supporters with a broad brush as a means of confiscatory gun control?

Red flag laws will have the effect of disarming those best able to stop a shooter. But that's not the real goal of these laws. Instead it's a new approach to thwarting the Second Amendment. President Trump is hopefully thinking long and hard about signing on to such measures, as this has the potential to be his "read my lips, no new taxes" moment.

[Editor's Note:
Any new laws and rules that weaken the Constitution will further destroy America. The Constitution is not a 'living document' to be twisted and bent because people can't fix problems otherwise. The Bill of Rights is part of what makes America the greatest country in world history. People in America who can't have what they want legally are tearing down the very fabric of America.

Instead of treating the symptoms by confiscating guns (In Rem Action), try searching for the cause of violent behaviors and creating treatments for the cause. Since legal action against a person is much more difficult (called Due Process), the lazy people in Law Enforcement just steal a person's property. This In Rem action is done all over the USA. Just take someone's money or other property because the property might be used in a crime, might have been used in a crime, or have been the results of a crime , don't bother to collect evidence, indict, and prove a a crime in court against the person.

Psychopathologically violent persons with a confirmed history of violence — people who assault, maim, and kill for no civilized reason, people with no conscience — are a different situation. Such persons should be treated as combatants and removed from the streets, charged with assault(s) [or murders], confined, and analyzed, treated with various behavior modification techniques to eliminate irrational violence behaviors, and confined for life if completely incorrigible.

All inexpugnable, violent persons who seriously injure others for no plausible reason of self-defense should be convicted and confined after one violent infraction of this type. All killers should be convicted and executed. Guns are a means of self-defense and a means of correcting government tyranny. Peaceful, sane people consider weapons to be a Natural Right and as a tool for preventing and defending against violence. Peaceful, sane people don't attack other people for any reason other than self-defense. If someone is insane or irrational, the problem is handled by treating the insane person. "Red Flag" laws are just another way for government to confiscate weapons.

Regarding "white supremacy", the Caucasian majority that made America the greatest country in the world is no more. Many of the other anthropological groups in the USA that emigrated to America have failed to assimilate into American culture and become real American citizens. If your entire congressional district is a group of "green card" holders who have no intention of assimilating and merely express grievances, accusations, and lies, then America cannot continue to thrive. These groups have maintained the violence and corruption of the countries from whence they came. These groups stay together and focus on gaining political power with which they can change America into what they learned in other countries — violence, corruption, and tyranny! Such a development is or would be in direct opposition to the Founders' vision, even in direct opposition to many Americans today. This tyranny must be prevented!

"Assimilation" means:

  • you must speak English, and
  • you must learn American history including the Declaration of Independence, selected Federalist Papers, the Constitution/Bill of Rights, understanding of how CONgress and the Courts have weakened the Bill of Rights, and
  • you must learn the mores of America (A set of moral norms or customs derived from generally accepted practices rather than written laws.), and
  • immigrating to America means that you want to be an American Citizen, and
  • so what if you have an accent when you speak, and
  • you will abide by federal, state, and local laws, and
  • you have acquired the skills necessary to function independently/financially, and
  • you want to be a successful individual in America, and
  • you want to teach your children all of the above

Joseph Story, Supreme Court Justice
... when the court wasn't part of the L-E-J Cabal

Joseph Story (1779�1845) was born during the American Revolution, and came of age in the early years of the new United States of America. He was a scholar of the U.S. Constitution, and, eventually helped found the Harvard Law School.

In 1811, Story was appointed to the Supreme Court by President James Madison — who knew a few things about the U.S. Constitution, in that he helped write it. Story was a contemporary of another famous member of the Supreme Court, Chief Justice John Marshall (1755�1835).

In 1833, Justice Story published a study titled, Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States. In a discussion of the Second Amendment, Story stated:

"The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them."

Benefit money must therefore be paid out of the Treasury. If there had been a SS brokerage account (instead of the Feds spending it), the monies could have been invested very conservatively to receive a modest 5-8% annual return on investment and the SS "Trust" Fund would be solvent even with retiring baby-boomers. Another mismanagement failure is SS Disability which has been defrauded by mendacious citizen malingerers especially from 2000 to 2016.

[Editor's Note: what I have dubbed the "Legislative-Executive-Judicial Cabal" which the American People have caused by ignoring the generational transition from our Constitutional Republic to what now is, in effect, an "elected" dictatorship. Never mind who is elected. Never mind which bogus party is in power. The superficial, theatrically staged, choreographed appearance of debate, disagreement, and stalled legislation always resolves into more government and less FREEDOM. We the People still lose more freedom after every "emergency" or unnoticeably when CON-gress passes another general, open-ended law that enables the Executive (dictator) and its unaccountable agencies to formulate more freedom-restricting regulations (200 pages a day get posted to the Federal Register). The "Dictator's" agencies (police force) continue to pile-up more weapons to squelch uprising(s) when the People finally realize and understand their tyrannical government.

A Convention of States is necessary to amend the Constitution for Congressional Term Limits to twelve (12) years and restrict time in DC to only six (6) months per year. Such an Amendment is only a FIRST step in restoring America to its Constitutional roots. Back in the day when the People still feared kings, the president's term was limited by Constitutional Amendment.

Currently, CONgress is just a group of socialists, progressives, and faux-conservatives (career politicians) that, on a daily basis, ignores the Constitution, many of their own past statutes, and cedes their responsibilities to the president ("elected" dictator). A comparison to the history of Rome becomes more and more credible with the Executive and its "featherbedded" lackeys gaining more power while CONgress sits back all fat-dumb-and-happy.

CONgress has made recent efforts to expose State Dept. failures in Benghazi (inept political leader), Fast-and-Furious gun-running (criminal AG), IRS 1st amendment violations, gov't union Veterans Administration fraud, and whining about Obama(Reid)-killer-Care, but these efforts are mostly politics as usual. Most "citizens" will forget about these infringements from our unaccountable, uncontrollable Executive branch with its tyrannical agencies staffed by socialist unions that extort "juicy" contracts from the "elected" dictatorship.

Most positions in the federal government whether elected, appointed, or hired are nominal, make-work jobs (confidentially) designed merely to grow government, bilk money from private businesses and citizens, and eventually fully transform America into a totalitarian state. When this happens, CONgress will have destroyed the economy and the country by their negligence and counter-liberty policies, and it will be almost impossible to Restore America. The 'Restore America' list is only a beginning too.]

"The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny."

James Madison, Federalist Paper 47, Friday, February 1, 1788

[Editor's Note: a Constitutional Convention is required to reverse the damage to freedom and liberty since 1900. This Article V was ratified by the participants at America's founding Constitutional Convention as an alternate path for repairing damage to freedom and liberty, a path for the People to restore damage caused by our failed representatives in the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches of a government designed to represent the wishes of We the People.

The States must "demand" a Convention and explicitly specify an agenda of:

  1. laws to be repealed or modified,
  2. Amendments to existing constitutional clauses that define the co-equal branches to further specify and define, and
  3. new Amendments or statutes to be eventually ratified by States.

These Amendments should further specify and clarify the powers of the Legislature and Executive Branches. A good example is the definition of a "Bill". A Bill should contain ONLY verbiage in regards to the topic of the future law. NO earmarks and NO unrelated sections or attacments.

Many past Bills sent to a president for signature contained unrelated but essential funding sections that rendered the Bill veto-proof when it warranted a veto. CON-gress can override a veto if the Bill is deemed absolutely necessary by CON-gress. If the Bill requires SPECIFICALLY related amendments, the CON-gress can "debate" (with its usual theater) and vote any new amendments.

The original text of the Constitution contains some very GENERAL clauses enabling both CON-gress and Executive branches to write laws and regulations with their particular nuances expanding powers beyond intent. "Intent" may be gleaned from a complete understanding of Federalist Papers. An example of further specification and clarity for CON-gress should be a clear, very specific definition of the boundaries for the interstate Commerce Clause.

To restore freedom, liberty, and individuality - minimally these must be repealed:

  1. the 16th Amendment,
  2. the Federal Reserve Act,
  3. the War Powers Act,
  4. all Asset Forfeiture laws,
  5. the Controlled Substances Act (CSA)
  6. the P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act
  7. NDAA
  8. Homeland Security which includes TSA
  9. the Dodd�Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act
  10. most Eminent Domain laws, and
  11. the Affordable Care Act

Currently, even with computer-searching systems, the list of antiquated and/or obsolete statutes (and related regulations) is unwieldy. These statutes must be invalidated unless there remains an applicable reason for retaining the law(s).

Aside from invalidating statutes, there are many regulations that are biased in favor of large enterprises (who buy support from bureaucrats) at the expense of the competition, effectively repressing the Free Market. Any regulations not related to public safety that gives a financial advantage to some companies over their smaller rivals must be rescinded to enable all companies with good consumer products to excel without burdensome regulations.

Additionally, the Convention should adopt for ratification at least these new Amendments or statute modifications:

  1. clearly define and limit the role of government in regards to the term "general welfare",
  2. Term Limits for CON-gress (12 years) including a 6 month limit on time residing in DC,
  3. strict Prohibition of Lobbying (with a comprehensive definition of "lobbying"), and
  4. a Balanced Budget Amendment to stop wreckless spending. During a CON-gressionally declared "war" (only after USA is attacked or attack is proven "imminent"), deficit spending is permissible.
  5. Restore America to its roots, i.e. Defense, State, Treasury, and Justice. Some Agencies are required like CIA and NSA, both respectively focused on defense against real foreign aggressors and not fictitious paranoid delusions of war mongers. Other agencies help where certain interstate communications are necessary. Most agencies like Agriculture, Education, DEA, IRS (eliminated with 16th Amendment) and many other listed here should be eliminated.
  6. Restore the world Gold Standard with five contentious steps, and
  7. Replace the IMF, World Bank, and Export-Import Bank with facilities that reflect the new Gold Standard, and
  8. After decentralizing and economizing, if tax revenue is needed to fund all or part of the federal government, then implement the Fair Tax.

Regarding a Constitutional Convention itself, some of the available literature warns the reader about a possible "unstructured" and "mismanaged" Convention that might propose and adopt amendments that could damage the Republic. Possible, however, it is difficult to envisage how much more damage could done over what the L-E-J Cabal has already done. If the Convention's agenda and rules of order strictly prohibit violation of the rules and enable a vote on unlisted Amendments AFTER all others are adopted, then the Convention will be properly structured and managed. ]

Why Do We Need Term Limits?

John Adams said, �Without [term limits] every man in power becomes a ravenous beast of prey�. That being said, here are some of the reasons we believe our country needs Term Limits.

  1. Term Limits can help break the cycle of corruption in Congress. Case studies show that the longer an individual stays in office, the more likely they are to stop serving the public and begin serving their own interests.
  2. Term Limits will encourage regular citizens to run for office. Presently, there is a 94% re-election rate in the House and 83% in the Senate. Because of name recognition, and usually the advantage of money, it can be easy to stay in office. Without legitimate competition, what is the incentive for a member of Congress to serve the public? Furthermore, it is almost a lost cause for the average citizen to try to campaign against current members of Congress.
  3. Term Limits will break the power special interest groups have in Congress.
  4. Term Limits will force politicians to think about the impact of their legislation because they will be returning to their communities shortly to live under the laws they enacted.
  5. Term Limits will bring diversity of people and fresh ideas to Congress.

Term limits for lawmakers: when is enough, enough?

[Editor's Note: If you want to get rich, i.e. advance from a low paying government bureaucrat job on the local or state level, THEN GET ELECTED TO THE US CONGRESS (House or Senate). Once you're elected, it's easy to steal from your campaign contributions or the Congressional budget allocated to your seat and staff. You can go on a government-funded junket with 'lavishly' paid expenses. The list of ways to steal from the government while in office is inexhaustible. There are only a few Congressmen who left Congress just wealthy instead of a multi-millionaire. Of course, there are several who arrived in Congress as multi-millionaires and don't need to steal from the government.]

 

CONVENTION of STATES (CoS)

CONVENTION of STATES

BECOME a MEMBER-PARTICIPANT of CONVENTION of STATES here. Get into the Action; Get information. Join here.

The CONgress (by Article V of the Constitution) has proposed and States have ratified many new amendments to the Constitution, some that increase their power over us citizens. CONgress can propose amendments, and the alternative method to CONgressional proposals can come from States via Article V. When "We the People" — meaning a very large majority — are opposed to Acts of CONgress like the INCOME TAX or ENDLESS WARS or the FEDERAL RESERVE, Acts that restrict and regulate our LIBERTY, Acts that are a waste of money, Acts that have caused unrecoverable indebtedness, then through local representaatives of our States WE can propose Amendments to be ratified by States just like CONgress.

STATES and the PEOPLE of America are very angry at the federal goverment's violation of its constitutionally-defined boundaries. States created the federal government in 1787 with LIMITED powers defined in the Constitution. All powers not given by States to the feds remain with the States by Article X. The feds have through deceit, distortion, and falsification rearranged the entire contractual agreement between States and the federal government. The feds have become a very powerful, all consuming force in American government. The time has come for States to rein in the federal government, to take power back, to limit the federal government's power, and to add some detailed restriction to the definition of CONgress, the Executive, and the Judiciary.

In 1787 a central government was (is) necessary only to provide for the common defense and ensure equality under the law for all Citizens, to provide a final arbiter for the resolution of unsolvable problems among States and People. Most laws and regulations that the federal government has wreaked on the States and the People are unconstitutional. States are independent, sovereign countries who realized the need for a limited and defined central government to prevent wasteful duplication of effort. The federal government, in 2017, is OUT OF CONTROL, infringing and interfering with State sovereignty and their separate economies. A problem arose in 2012 with Arizona's attempt to secure their border with Mexico. An article is here. States can prevent infringements by the federal government with an Aricle V Convention of States to not only reverse past federal government "power grabs" but prevent future federal government violations of their Constitutionally-defined boundaries.

A new, well-organized group of volunteers in all 50 states have gathered to restore America to its roots by limiting all 3 branches of the federal government with a Convention of States (CoS) organization (alternate site, CoS Action). This is a Convention of States to AMEND the Constitution — NOT rewrite it! Recently, CoS held an Article V, Convention simulation with appointed volunteers from all 50 States. The simulated Convention demonstrated how a well-organized CoS can vote for proposed amendments to the Consitution that are popular enough to be ratified by the necessary 3/4ths of States (38). Obviously, only proposed Amendments that are likely to pass both Houses of the legislatures of thirty-eight (38) States, that is, the required 3/4ths of States to ratify an Amendment to the Constitution should be proposed. See the Final Report here. The purpose in a Convention of States, simulated or real, is to PROPOSE AMENDMENTS that give power back to the People. The proposed amendments must reflect the thinking, objectives — the goals of people of States — who want to restore our Constitutional Republic to one that represents the people.

A real CoS, requires that 2/3rds of States (34) send an "application" to CONgress requesting that CONgress schedule a CoS. State Legislatures are composed of an Assembly and Senate. Each "house" must pass a bill separately and send the resolution to their Governor. Then the State sends an "application" to the CONgress. When the federal CONgress receives applications from 34 States, the CONgress is required to set a date for the Convention of States. CONgress is NOT involved otherwise. The States have the Convention, propose amendments, and dispatch the precisely worded amendments to their respectives assemblies and senates for ratification. CONgress only schedules the Convention.
