Quote:Did you know congress does not follow the US Constitution?
The average pocket constitution has about 100 pages; it has 7,500 words if you include all 27 amendments.
Do you know what congress uses?
annotated constitution
This 3,000 page behemoth also contains references to all the court cases that ruled on aspects of the constitution, to explain to us dummies what the document really means. This is one of the main ways the federal government has usurped the enumerated powers left to the states: judicial fiat.
How do we solve this problem?
Article 5
Check it out, sign the petition and get involved in restoring this country to what the founders intended.
Quote:Convention of States Project was formed to “Build an engaged army of self-governing grassroots activists”, for the express purpose of educating people on their inalienable Constitutional right to restrain government through the Article V amending convention process.
Our aspirational goals are as follows:
Help people organize and restore representative government as defined in our written Constitution.
Restore a culture of self-governance in America.
Inspire a political and spiritual awakening in America.
Our mission will never end; we are painfully aware, as our founders were, that human nature will creep back in to the federal government over time if we fail to educate each successive generation about the principles this great nation was founded upon:
All power emanates from the people.
Individual freedom.
Equal justice.
This project is not about who is in the White House, who controls congress nor which party’s message resonates the loudest, frankly, we don’t care. Our concern is to hold ALL of the corrupt DC decision makers accountable until the natural checks and balances that limit government are restored.
We fully understand the magnitude of the daunting task we have chosen, and we use stories published by various sources to demonstrate the message we are touting. We express no editorial opinion on the story, good or bad, only that it shows the pressing need for our mission to succeed.
Another prime example: one in five Americans can not name one of the three branches of government.

Have you had enough of the decay? Are you fed up with government overreach? Article V is the solution as big as the problem. Join us, sign the petition and volunteer; a few hours a month of your time can make all the difference we need to restore government to the founder’s vision.
Article 5
Quote:This video is another must watch by every American; it is two hours long, but the investment of time is well worth it. Pop a huge bowl of popcorn and invite every person you know to watch with you.
It is an in depth analysis of the history and activities of the “deep state”. This is how “public’ servants have grown rich at the tax payer’s expense.
The swamp and the media have been colluding to drive a narrative to divide this nation; it is imperative we unite and become informed. Being informed is the duty entrusted to you by the founders.
Let me make this clear; this video is about the collusion between the swamp and the NGO’s they are funding; if you get on the political soap box and start pointing fingers at anyone, they win. Do not make this political, nor personal. Keep watching until you see the big picture.
Unite, force the media to cover both sides equally and fairly.
After you watch, you will know why the Soros funded machine is trying desperately to take our weapons and discredit Constitution of the United States, It is time to wake up and realize the “deep" state exists and they want to remake the world in their image. Fabian Socialists, in one form or another have been around since the Age of Enlightenment. Truly, this concept is what the founders of this country were escaping by coming to the new world.
Our founders were brilliant men, and they knew this day would come. They gave us the solution as big as the problem. We are never going to root out the “shadow” government from inside the beltway; it must be done by the state legislators. Article V: Convention of States is the solution. It is safe and secure way to restrain the elites, and we don’t need their permission.
The Hydra
Quote:Don't get distracted by the minutiae; here is my response to all who will listen:
Trump did some good things while in office, but he did some stupid things as well. But I said back in 2016 he would not make any real change in DC. That swamp is set structural concrete with titanium mesh; a nuclear warhead would only chip some paint.
DC elites will never voluntarily give up power; there are far too many lobbyists, staffers and bureaucrats that are permanent fixtures in the decision making process. They don’t care who gets elected; they will just wait til that person is gone, or they will destroy them if they become effective..
I said it would take some one with deep personal conviction to principal to affect change, and Trump ain’t that guy. I thought Cruz might be, but now we will never know.
The US Constitution, as ratified by the states, created the federal government, enumerated the functions under its control and provided a grant of limited power for the federal government to perform those enumerated functions. The grant of limited power and the check and balance structure contained in US Constitution assured Americans that there would be no abuse of power by the federal government. Without that assurance, the US Constitution would not have been ratified. As a people, Americans have allowed the federal government to exceed its grant of limited power and to use this newly acquired power to abuse the rights of all Americans. Our last line of defense to stop this abuse is our states.
Every state legislator takes this oath, “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support, obey and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of this Commonwealth (or State) and that I will discharge the duties of my office with fidelity”. By taking this oath to defend the Constitution of United States, they are assuming the duty and obligation to defend YOU against the abuse of YOUR rights by the federal government. The Framers gave them the tool to defend you against this abuse of power. In Article V of the US Constitution, the states were given the power to propose amendments to the Constitution at a convention of the states so that there would be a source of power to stop abuses by the federal government. However, they will not use Article V to defend us unless we demand that they do so. ,
Moving forward ignore the distractions and remain focused on the real goal!
DC can not be fixed from inside the beltway; there is only one party there - progressivism. The RINO's agree with the socialists. Trump tried, but even he couldn't turn that ship. No one can. The solution must come from the states - Article V Convention of States. Talk to your state Rep. and Senator; if they resist elect some one else with the conviction to uphold the Constitution. This is the only fix that will work barring civil war.
This task won't be easy; it will take all of us working together.
Educate yourself; assume you are being lied to. All our futures depend on the citizens accepting the responsibility the founders bestowed on us to hold our elected representatives accountable.
“A republic if you can keep it". That statement is attributed to BENJAMIN FRANKLIN— when queried as he left Independence Hall on the final day of deliberation at the close of the Constitutional Convention of 1787—from the notes of Dr. James McHenry
The ball is in your court; what are you prepared to do? Sign the petition and get involved or prepare for war - the choice is yours.
Feel free to cut and paste.
Quote:Our founders fought a violent revolution to gain their freedom from an oppressive central government. They were brilliant men who understood human nature, and they knew we would face the same problem in the future. That is why they gave us Article V: Convention of States. we can wrest the usurped power from the elites and return it to we the people without their consent. We must stand together; let’s try Article V first, agreed..
I create memes and publish articles all over cyber space; Sal Alinsky would be proud.
Not all people are willing to think for themselves (prime example are the hypocrites here), but we need to push on anyway. It is our responsibility if we wish to remain free.

Personally, I don't give a shit what you think, but I made the decision long ago to take no prisoners in this fight to save this country from ideologues spewing nonsense. I am old now, and to paraphrase Dylan Thomas - I ain't taking shit from progressive hypocrites any more. So FUCK YOU CUNT! You don't want to know the truth.

The last thing I want to do is emulate those for whom I have no respect. Antifa claims to be anti-fascist, yet they're indistinguishable from them. Most of the people who use that term have no idea what it really means, because our language has been bastardized to the point that meaningful discussion is too tedious for most people to bother trying. It'll take more than memes to undo that, I'm afraid.

Yeah for you because you're a male. And even then it can have serious side effects. A woman taking it, however, fucks herself up for good with devastating side effects. I dont even know how it's allowed.
That is a sucky situation. How old is your friend's daughter?
I am in agreement with you-too many medical procedures done too easily I fear without proper time to think about things.
She's 22, my friend made her wait until she was 18 to start the transition. It completely changed her obviously and it's causing her health problems. It didn't even make her happy, he's suicidal now.

That sounds like gender dysphoria, which might indicate that she transitioned due to the fact that this is being promoted as the new normal.

don't think it; I know it for fact. I post to many state politicians FB or Twitter accounts. I have made great progress with 2 in particular:
Quote:California gets hundreds of millions of our tax dollars every single year from the out of control federal government; are you sick and tired of funding their insanity? I won’t even mention New York and Illinois?
These issues can be traced directly to the federal government’s usurpation of powers that were never granted it by the US Constitution through regulations written by unelected corrupt bureaucrats and judicial fiat. Are you ready to make these states live on their own revenues?
DC has imposed tyranny and oppression on the citizens of this proud nation for far to long. Educate yourself, learn the truth and help us put restraints on the pernicious, jejune and power hungry denizens of the swamp. If we stand together, we can return the power usurped by the feds back to the state where it rightly belongs.
Join the group of citizens trying to preserve our way of life and permanently fix what ails us. Lets restore our government to what the founders intended it should be. Please, sign the petition, roll up your sleeves and lets get to work, together.

RE: HR 206 Concurrent Resolution
November __, 2019
Sir,
The states created the federal government, enumerated the functions it was allowed to perform and provided the limited power necessary for the federal government to perform only those enumerated functions, when they ratified the U.S. Constitution. For far too long, Americans have permitted the federal government to exceed its grant of limited power and to use this newly acquired power to abuse the rights of all Americans. Our last line of defense to stop this abuse is you.
You took this oath, “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support, obey and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of this Commonwealth and that I will discharge the duties of my office with fidelity” when you were sworn into office.. By taking this oath you assumed the duty and obligation to defend me against the usurpation of my inalienable rights by the federal government. The Framers specifically gave you the weapon to defend me against any misuse of power by the federal government.
Under Section Two of Article V, in the Constitution, the states were given the power to propose amendments to the Constitution at a convention of the states; that clause was unanimously approved without out debate, the only one in the document. The Framers put that clause in our Constitution so there would be a source of authority outside of Washington D.C. to stop the federal government’s unfettered accumulation of power.
The 2019 concurrent resolution for the PA House is HR 206 and the PA Senate is SR 234. Once these resolutions are voted on and passed in both chambers, Pennsylvania will submit a formal application to the US Congress requesting an Article V amending convention of states and join the 15 other states that have already submitted an application.
As a constituent, I strongly urge you to support HR 206, and ask your colleagues to do the same.
It is time to return the usurped power back to Harrisburg, where the Framers intended it should reside.
Thank you for your consideration on this most important issue.
Sincerely.

that last one gets edited for the individual state, but they have opened many a door to begin a conversation about how our system of government actually works.
this one I use on folks post that are just asking WTF:
Quote:This country is in a very sad state; it is over run with pernicious, jejune and power hungry denizens of the swamp. I submit, there are no Democrats nor Republicans any more, only progressives and Constitutionalist. Progressives have been infiltrating both parties for a century.
I believe it is in large part the blame of big government; the Department of Education has been destroying our educational system since its inception. The progressive goal has been to indoctrinate, not educate, for the past century. Government bureaucrats with their own agenda have been colluding with career politicians, a corrupt media and lobbists stealing our tax dollars, all under the protection of judicial fiat.
It is time to reeducate every generation about their inalienable Constitutional rights, before they make a grave mistake.
This country is having the wrong debate every single day because the elites want us divided; there is really only one debate required: who decides? When people hear that question, the overwhelming majority agree, they should decide. That question unites people, and that is the swamp’s biggest fear - a united and engaged electorate.
Convention of States Project was formed to “Build an engaged army of self-governing grassroots activists”, for the express purpose of educating people on their inalienable Constitutional right to restrain government through the Article V amending convention process.
Our aspirational goals are as follows:
Help people organize and restore representative government as defined in our written Constitution.

to date I have been credited with 1,467 petitions being signed and 621 volunteers joining the movement. I joined the movement in 2019.
COS is here to stay and growing every day.

apathy is the reason we are in this mess in the first place. I have faith in the American people (as did the founders); we are the vast majority. we are being silenced by the corrupt elites and their media lap dogs. social media is a force that won't be stopped; join the revolution, it is your duty and responsibility to fight for freedom.
