2014 Midterm Elections a Referendum for Constitutional Convention

Now that the dust has settled, we plebeians have to wade through myriad analysis of what last week’s elections meant.  Some of these pundits are delusional.  They believe a resounding ass whooping is a call for bipartisanship.   Only Beltway elites could come to that conclusion.  No, what we want is gridlock!  The more of it the better!  We’ve had enough of republicans and democrats working together.  I’d say we’ve had about $18 trillion worth of bipartisanship and a near dissolution of our Constitution and federalist system.

What this past election was about is a call to dismantle the Washington D.C. Death Star.  Do I have faith that this freshman class will channel their Obi Wan Kenobi and fight these Potomac storm troopers?  Of course not, they’ll take a dip into that open sewer and become zombified establishment republicans.  They’ll have the urge to “work together to get the job done for the American people.”  I believe the “establishment” has done enough.  It’s time conservatives held the line and look to the states to save our asses.  That is where our “Hope and Change” will prevail.  The Washington Post reported the following:

Republican gains extended to state legislative chambers as well. Before Election Day, the GOP controlled 59 of 98 partisan legislative chambers across the country. On Tuesday, preliminary results showed Republicans had won control of both the Nevada Assembly and Senate, the Colorado Senate and state House chambers in Minnesota, New Mexico, Maine, West Virginia and New Hampshire. That would give the party control of 67 chambers, five more than their previous record in the modern era, set after special elections in 2011 and 2012. It also would give Republicans total control of 24 states, in which they hold the governor’s mansion and both chambers of the state legislature (Nebraska’s unicameral legislature is technically nonpartisan, but in practice Republicans control the chamber by a wide margin). Democrats, by contrast, are likely to control all three legs of the governing stool in only six states.

Since that was published republicans have taken control of 70 percent of all legislatures.  It is possible for states to call for a constitutional convention and roll back the progressive agenda.

Three fourths of the states can call for a constitutional convention.  If we are to save this republic from executive tyrants, bureaucratic despots, and activist judges we need the states to step up and stand up to Washington D.C.  We need to repeal the 14^th, 16^th, and 17^th amendments and dismantle that thuggish bureaucratic state.  Our lives, liberty and property depend on it.
