Democrats (Socialists) have borrowed rules from the old Soviet Union — accuse the man, search for evidence of a crime, subpoena unaligned, hostile
witnesses who testify the opposite facts for the "show trial" without even the vaguest standing, and blather bogus trash to a Media that hasn't the foggiest idea of the
meaning of truth. The current Socialist playbook is to cast aspersions on our great President Trump, to keep the possibility of some crime and doubt on the false media TV
screens until November, 2020. Uninformed voters who are ignorant enough to believe rumors instead of researching facts, or voters who are angry, hateful, and green
with envy of successful, wealthy people like President Trump may believe Commissar Strangeschiff's "Show Trial" and suspect enough guilt to vote for Socialists and
America's destruction.
In the coming days before 11/2020, look for Democrats in general and the Squad in particular to begin kissing up to voters. The Squad has been playing nice to their
constituents so they can get reelected. DO NOT FORGET THE TRAVESTY OF THE LAST 5 YEARS, the absurd, grotesque, massive misrepresentation of events perpetrated
by Democrat criminals that have transpired since 2015 and candidate Trump's announcement to seek the presidency. The bogus Russia Hoax, the Climate Change Hoax
(see AOC's Climate Hoax),
and, now, the Impeachment Hoax led by Commissar Strangeschiff who twists the actual crime in Ukraine committed by the Biden(s) onto President Trump.
All "Representatives" must be reelected every two years (or not). Commissar Strangeschiff represents California's 28th District which contains West Hollywood to the
eastern border of Pasadena, and from Echo Park to the Angeles National Forest. This area is populated by "comrades" who haven't the remotest idea of the concept of
"right and wrong". The best recommendation is to call the Commissar at (202) 225-4176 and tell him to resign and commit suicide by eating a bullet from a pistol in his
mouth. The crazy, "headbanger" Speaker of the House, Commissar Pelosi will dream up a new hoax to dump on citizens even though she should focus on cleaning up the
Frisco dump. The greater 'Frisco area may develop a pandemic of typhoid fever or 'Frisco might become California's new Leper Colony.
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 saw the DNC, the FBI, and the Democrat's 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
"Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have."
"Never go outside the expertise of your people."
"Whenever possible go outside the expertise of the enemy."
"Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules."
"Ridicule is man's most potent weapon."
"A good tactic is one your people enjoy."
"A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag."
"Keep the pressure on."
"The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself."
"The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition."
"If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside."
"The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative."
"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." —George Orwell
Anyone who believes this country is free is an idiot!
Who could have guessed that the words of Soviet secret police chief Lavrentiy Beria to Joseph Stalin, "Show me the man, and I will show you the crime," would be
strangely embodied in American politics and jurisprudence in the 21st century? Moreover, according to Dr. Strangesсhiff — congressman, chairman, and
commissar — these wonderful words have recently found their way into the U.S. Constitution.
Secret impeachment would seem to be a new idea, but the curious Dr. Strangesсhiff borrowed it from the closed Soviet trials of dissidents, "enemies of the people," and
other "undesirable elements."
Bravo, comrade Strangesсhiff! Please, continue the Orange Man trial behind closed doors. After all, the American people are ecstatic about closed hearings without
access by journalists or lawyers. They are also especially fond of the removal of the president based on an anonymous gossip-monger, or two, or three. The number of
blabbers is not important, since the transcripts of their testimonies will never be published (not because they are not there, but because that is exactly what the intent
was).
The impeachment trials by the troika of Strangesсhiff, Loudspeaker, and Jabba-the-Dem take place
in the basement of the Lubyanka Capitol. Citizens of the country are not allowed in the basement trial of their president. Secret investigation, followed by a secret court,
and then...secret execution. Furthermore, all these actions are in the same basement. In the 21st century, it is the basement of the Capitol.
How familiar...
When presenting the case of impeachment to his committee, Chairman Strangesсhiff used a specially written parody of the conversation between Orange Man and the
president of Ukraine instead of the declassified and officially published text. The word "clowning" comes to mind, but the Strangeschiff clan never joke. They deal only
with serious anti-American and revolutionary affairs. For example, in 1917, one of Strangeschiff's relatives, a banker, paid all travel expenses for the family idol,
communist Leo Trotsky, to move from New York to Russia, where he became one of the leaders of the communist coup. When Trotsky was arrested while crossing the
Canadian border, he had 10 thousand dollars on him (about 200 thousand dollars at the current rate).
Nevertheless, the actions of the self-appointed troika are getting funnier every day. Recently, they began to invite witnesses, who at the time of the "committing of the
crime" had not been White House employees for a long time. They did not and could not possibly see or hear anything. Excellent selection of witnesses, Comrade
Chairman! Anonymous whistlers who refuse to give official testimony are a great contribution to the reputation of the Democratic Party, Comrade Strangesсhiff.
Dr. Strangesсhiff spends public resources on a private, non-governmental, and illegitimate project. There is no formal impeachment process because nobody has voted
for it. Therefore, the Strangeschiff troika does not even have the legal authority to subpoena anyone to testify. The other day, the third-rate Loudspeaker once again
confirmed that there has not been nor will there be any official vote on impeachment.
The horror of the situation is that the Democrats, without realizing it, began to win the indirect competition with McCarthy's anti-communist investigations of the 1950s.
Previously, the phrase "witch hunt" was firmly (although not always deservedly) associated with McCarthy, but now Strangesсhiff and his accomplices, who are haunted
by fame, efficiency, and (brief) impunity of the Stalinist troikas, have taken the palm.
Bravo, comrade Strangesсhiff! The permanent impeachment is a permanent gift for the Orange Man that keeps on giving. Gathering evidence of the guilt of Orange Man
from second- and thirdhand accounts is an excellent strategy, my dear revolutionary commissars. All of these anonymous informers are just fine. The Politburo
appreciates your achievements! Moreover, the opinion that Commissar Strangeschiff is making the most miserable attempt at impeachment in American history is simply
a slander by those who have not yet been to the re-education camp.
The secret virtual impeachment was originally conceived by the Democrats as their golden ticket to the winning 2020 election. Alas, they were forced to drastically
change their plans as soon as they learned about the investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice of the origins of the "Russian Dossier." Now the creatures of the
Washington swamp are participating in a race for survival. They are trying with all their might to find a worthy political counterweight to real prison terms both for the
government espionage against political opponents and for an attempted palace coup. The fact that they chose the heavy artillery — impeachment — shows how highly
they value themselves for the gravity of their violations of the law, all while following the orders of Comrade Hussein ibn-Kenyan.
Closed trials have taken place in the past. In most cases, those who were eventually planned to be exchanged — spies or politicians — were tried behind closed doors.
What exchange are the Democrat commissars counting on?
If members of the Capitol Politburo expect to find something in Orange Man's biography to remove him from the presidency, they will be greatly disappointed. The fact
is that Orange Man declared his candidacy in 2015. However, he began planning a move to the White House when he turned fifty. Furthermore, over the past
quarter-century, his staff and his lawyers have completely "cleared out" all potential "dark spots" in his life.
They worked slowly but thoroughly. Someone got money, someone got a position, and someone got publicity. Everyone got what he wanted. That is why the numerous
attempts to find some dirt on Orange Man are a futile undertaking. In fact, not one of Orange Man's many confirmed mistresses has so far confronted him (and those
who spoke out turned out to be fakes).
Over the past three years, Democrats have called for a recession, stock market crash, nuclear war, the assassination of the president and his family, the rape of his
daughter, the rape of his wife, the bombing of the White House, impeachment and rioting, all to fuel the process of the Sovietization of America.
After the debacle with the Special Counsel Mueller investigation, from whom we learned that Orange Man is not, in fact, a marionette of the nano-führer Putin, and
Mueller himself is only the figurehead of the "Down with the Orange Man" gang, it can be assumed that Comrade Strangeschiff is the same inconspicuous figurehead.
By the way, the current troika of commissars does not use anything that was dug up by Mueller's anti-Trump team for the bluffpeachment.
Is everything happening in the basement of the Capitol a mockery of the impeachment process? Of course. However, most of all, Americans are interested in only one
question: what kind of trick will the Democrats come up with after the hocus-pocus of a permanent palace coup, permanent impeachment, and permanent figureheads
fails again?

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).
"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."
THE MOST ACCURATE ESTIMATES OF
THE NUMBER AND COST OF ILLEGAL ALIENS
ON USA SOIL:
A new Congress has been seated, and it brings the prospect of perhaps, maybe, potentially, in a possible way doing something about the runaway federal deficits. And in other news, several New York area bridges are for sale, which you can acquire at a bargain price.
Excessive Spending Destroys!
Feds Have a Spending Problem — DO NOT RAISE THE CEILING!
Feds Have a Sewage Problem!
DEBT PERSPECTIVE!
Social Security (SS) monies flow into the Feds via paycheck withholding. The Feds buy
US Treasuries and the Bond purchase money is deposited into the treasury. 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.
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."

[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:
laws to be repealed or modified,
Amendments to existing constitutional clauses that define the co-equal branches to further specify and define, and
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:
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:
clearly define and limit the role of government in regards to the term "general welfare",
Term Limits for CON-gress (12 years) including a 6 month limit on time residing in DC,
strict Prohibition of Lobbying (with a comprehensive definition of "lobbying"), and
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.
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.
Restore the world Gold Standard with five contentious steps, and
Replace the IMF, World Bank, and Export-Import Bank with facilities that reflect the new Gold Standard, and
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. ]
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.
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.
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.
Term Limits will break the power special interest groups have in Congress.
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.
Term Limits will bring diversity of people and fresh ideas to Congress.
[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

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.
ARTICLE V Convention of States—Restore the Appropriate Balance!
ARTICLE V Convention of States—Restore the Appropriate Balance!
ARTICLE V Convention of States—Restore the Appropriate Balance!
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.
