I mentioned previously that there are those who ignore the Constitution because they do not like the one we have now. They want to scrap the whole thing and write one that is more to their liking, similar to the soviet constitution, where they can dictate to us what restrictions we are to accept. NO THANKS!

I smell a rat when those who know better recommend that two thirds of the state legislatures apply for a Constitutional Convention to "fix" the Constitution, instead of recommending the Amendment Process for adjustments that can be made without putting the entire Constitution at risk. Let's not give permission to a corrupt congress to tamper with this document!

Sure, the Constitution is not perfect. We all know that. It was written by human beings just like we are, but it is the best we've got and we better hold on to it for dear life! We were very lucky, in 1787, to get the Constitution we have. It is an instruction manual to follow in order for us to protect ourselves from tyranny. If we know what the Constitution says, we will recognize what the federal government is doing wrong. When we are armed with the facts, we can then take the necessary steps to correct the situation we find ourselves in.

After Benjamin Franklin came out of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, he was approached by a woman who asked him, "Sir, What have you given us?" He answered, "A Republic Ma'am, ……..if you can keep it!" Let's reacquaint ourselves with this document and the Founders writings, so we can keep our Republic!

Second, the framers did not have a coherent value system, thus the constitution is flawed as a result. It is not our savior. It is a good start to a proper constitution based on real human freedom, but as it is written now, it protects such limited freedoms to be comical when people claim that such and such is against the constitution.

And no, the 10th amendment doesn't protect us. Even if you could claim that something isn't under interstate commerce or that the current definition of "regulate" isn't what they meant, they would just use the welfare clause as their argument and then anything goes despite the 10th, because the 10th doesn't repeal the welfare clause.

And even if you could get them to strictly ad hear to the 9th and 10th amendment, then you have the states, and even the local governments that are more than happy to put a gun to the backs of their neighbors head to pay for whatever they think is a good idea.

This is only solved if we recognize the true meaning of freedom :You are free to do ANYTHING you want, NO MATTER WHAT, so long as you don't DIRECTLY PHYSICALLY HARM ANOTHER. This is a value in and of itself. Freedom isn't a side effect or a good thing when possible, it's an absolute. You do not live in a free society unless your right to do whatever you want as per above is upheld.

Further, if the product of your labor, both mentally and physically is not, without exception, your property for you to do as you see fit, then you are not free. Even if it's the government taking the money, you're still having your freedom stolen from you by the government. ALL trade MUST be voluntary without limitation including with the government.

Only when the constitution is amended to contain these protections will we truly be free, and will we truly be protected from our government.

Break it down:

DIAGRAM OF THE CON-CON CALL:

Step 1: On the application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States – to call a Convention

Step 2: The Congress…shall call a convention. There is no legal precedent that specifies when or where a convention is held, how delegates are selected, how they are compensated…etc.) Consequently, there is no certainty as to who the delegates would be. Congress is given a free hand to determine the method of selecting delegates.

Step 3: for proposing Amendments. No provision in Article V limits the Constitutional Convention with regard to the actual amendment(s) considered or proposed.

Step 4: which…shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress. Congress chooses the mode of ratification – or as in the case of the first Constitutional Convention in 1787, the delegates could change the mode of ratification.

Our problem had nothing to do WITH the Constitution. Our problem has to do with IGNORING the Constitution. Those ignoring the Constitution would like nothing better than to make their usurpation LEGAL, by throwing out the Constitution, at a Constitutional Convention. It was ILLEGAL usurpation that has enabled an "elite" class to hijack our nation. It is that "elite" class who wants to con unknowledgable people into destroying the Constitution. The Constitution is the BEST document for the protection of freedom that has EVER been written. All we have to do is stick to it. And fix things by repealing certain amendments and nullification at the State level.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION "TO RETURN POWER TO THE STATES! However, there is only ONE kind of Constitutional Convention, and that is one that can be convened to WRITE AN ENTIRELY NEW CONSTITUTION.

Let's look at our history. The last time we had a Constitutional Convention was in 1787. Let's see what occurred. When the Convention was convened, all this legislative body originally intended was to make SMALL changes in the Articles of Confederation. That is all. Well, guess what happened! They ended up breaking their own rules and voila! The U.S. Constitution we have now was created! We were extremely lucky THAT time, as those who were at the 1787 Constitutional Convention were leaders OF A FREEDOM MOVEMENT which had just DEFEATED A TYRANNY. Their thinking was completely OPPOSITE from those who want a Convention now! We were lucky that time, but we won't be the next time!
