How many times has the U.S.
Constitution been brought up during these debates? I can only count one time and that was by
Donald Trump. The law of the land used
to mean something in this country. Now
it’s little more than a speed bump on the road to totalitarianism.
Master planners like Barack Obama and Hillary
Clinton sneer at federalism. Power is to
be exploited and used for “the benefit” of the little people who are incapable
of self-governance. Our Ivy League
betters have been trained to run our lives.
It’s best that we just shut our mouths and do what were told and forget
such notions as life, liberty and property.
According to these central planners, the U.S. Constitution is an
antiquated document; it doesn’t stand the test of times.
I say the U.S. Constitution matters more now than
ever. Barack Obama’s presidency is a testament
to the genius of our founding fathers and the fallacy of the Progressive
movement. His administration has demonstrated
how corrupt an unchecked executive can be.
No law or moral code shames this wannabe banana republic dictator. No lie is too outrageous even in the face of
overwhelming evidence. And now we are
about to elect the Queen of Scumbags: Hillary Clinton.
Our founding fathers new this day would come and they
put provisions in the Constitution to counter a corrupt central government that’s
incapable of governing itself. After
this fiasco of an election is over the States must activate Article V and
implement a convention of the States. We’ve
already had a trial run with promising results.
Here is what liberty loving Americans can accomplish without our D.C.
overlords.

“The Convention respectfully submits these proposals to the American
people with the conviction that they are a sound beginning to a
critically-needed national discussion about restoring the balance of power
between the federal government and the states.
Further, it is the conviction of this body that the states must deliberate
and adopt appropriate proposals for a balanced budget amendment and an
amendment to provide the states a means to serve as a check on judicial
overreach by the federal judiciary of the United States.”
(Note: the amendments below are listed in the order in which they were
adopted.)

Federal
Legislative & Executive Jurisdiction Proposal 1.
SECTION 1. The power of Congress to regulate commerce among the several
states shall be limited to the regulation of the sale, shipment,
transportation, or other movement of goods, articles or persons. Congress
may not regulate activity solely because it affects commerce among the
several states.
SECTION 2. The power of Congress to make all laws that are necessary and
proper to regulate commerce among the several states, or with foreign
nations, shall not be construed to include the power to regulate or prohibit
any activity that is confined within a single state regardless of its
effects outside the state, whether it employs instrumentalities there from,
or whether its regulation or prohibition is part of a comprehensive
regulatory scheme; but Congress shall have power to define and provide for
punishment of offenses constituting acts of war or violent insurrection
against the United States.
SECTION 3. The Legislatures of the States shall have standing to file any
claim alleging violation of this article. Nothing in this article shall be
construed to limit standing that may otherwise exist for a person.

of this Article.

Federal
Legislative & Executive Jurisdiction Proposal 2.
SECTION 1. The Legislatures of the States shall have authority to abrogate
any provision of federal law issued by the Congress, President, or
Administrative Agencies of the United States, whether in the form of a
statute, decree, order, regulation, rule, opinion, decision, or other form.
SECTION 2. Such abrogation shall be effective when the Legislatures of
three-fifths of the States approve a resolution declaring the same
provision or provisions of federal law to be abrogated. This abrogation
authority may also be applied to provisions of federal law existing at the
time this amendment is ratified.
SECTION 3. No government entity or official may take any action to enforce
a provision of federal law after it is abrogated according to this
Amendment. Any action to enforce a provision of abrogated federal law may
be enjoined by a federal or state court of general jurisdiction in the
state where the enforcement action occurs, and costs and attorney fees of
such injunction shall be awarded against the entity or official attempting
to enforce the abrogated provision.
SECTION 4. No provision of federal law abrogated pursuant to this amendment
may be reenacted or reissued for six years from the date of the abrogation.

Fiscal Restraints
Proposal 2.
SECTION 1. Congress shall not impose taxes or other exactions upon incomes,
gifts, or estates.
SECTION 2. Congress shall not impose or increase any tax, duty, impost or
excise without the approval of three-fifths of the House of Representatives
and three-fifths of the Senate, and shall separately present such to the
President.
SECTION 3. This Article shall be effective five years from the date of its
ratification, at which time the Sixteenth Article of amendment is repealed.

Federal
Legislative & Executive Jurisdiction Proposal 3.
Whenever one quarter of the members of the United States House of
Representatives or the United States Senate transmits to the President
their written declaration of opposition to any proposed or existing federal
administrative regulation, in whole or in part, it shall require a majority
vote of the House of Representatives and Senate to adopt or affirm that
regulation. Upon the transmittal of opposition, if Congress shall fail to
vote within 180 days, such regulation shall be vacated. No proposed
regulation challenged under the terms of this Article shall go into effect
without the approval of Congress. Congressional approval or rejection of a
rule or regulation is not subject to Presidential veto under Article 1,
Section 7 of the U.S. Constitution.

I would also like to repeal the 14th
and 17th Amendments, but I’m afraid that’s politically
impossible.
