INSURRECTION

[pyropappy]

Once you get to the ratification of whatever amendments are adopted, I think it would be very easy to stall it by dropping huge sums of money in key states. I think we'd have to deal with the systemic corruption before something like this is feasible.

I trust the founders, when we get to ratification, this country will be wide awake. The 1^st Article V convention will be historic; not to mention the biggest media circus ever. The libs will go apoplectic, but the fact is they are a very small minority, we the people are the vast majority in this country. The pressure from the grassroots will become intense. Any state rep that succumbs to lobbyist's money will be primaried and tossed out of office; it is happening as we speak to reps that are opposing the resolution to call the convention. All over this nation, COSP is replacing the reps resisting. This is a long slow process; COSP is in it for the long haul. 

I think you are missing the point of this project; COSP isn't doing this to get to convention. 

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 into 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 decision makers accountable until the natural checks and balances that limit government are restored and remain in place.

Remember, 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 (read the Federalist Papers). 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 their State or Commonwealth 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 us against the abuse of our rights by the federal government and the Framers gave them the tool to defend us. 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. 

The folks who forgot that piece of history will be educated by COSP, and trust me, the people I interact with daily are pissed off. I dare their reps to ignore them.
