What are the American people to do when all three branches of the federal government have broken faith with our federalist system as defined in our Constitution for which our “public servants” pledged to uphold and defend?
We can thank our founders for having foresight by
providing tools to fight back against a power hungry and corrupt central
government. Article V allows for a convention
of States to amend the Constitution.
Many people have come to the conclusion that this may be the only way to
save our republic from unscrupulous power brokers that infest Washington
D.C. The governor of Texas happens to be
one of them.
Gov. Greg
Abbott, aiming to spark a national conversation about states’ rights,
said Friday that he wants Texas to lead the call for a convention to amend the
U.S. Constitution and wrest power from a federal government “run amok.”
“If we are going
to fight for, protect and hand on to the next generation, the freedom that
[President] Reagan spoke of … then we have to take the lead to restore the rule
of law in America,” Abbott said during a speech at the Texas Public Policy
Foundation’s Policy Orientation that drew raucous applause from the
conservative audience. He said he will ask lawmakers to pass a bill authorizing
Texas to join other states calling for a Convention of States.
What are Americans to do when Congress has abrogated
their constitutional responsibilities to unelected and unaccountable
bureaucrats, a president that rules by pen and phone, and a Supreme Court that
rewrites laws and manufacturers rights by bastardizing the 14th
Amendment? If there is another nonviolent
alternative, I would like to know it.
