Stop the Article V Convention

Delegates to an Article V convention can't be controlled by State laws! From Publius Hulda Feb 16, 2015 10:26 AM
Dear Friends,
Those pushing for an Article V convention assure you that Delegates to a convention can be controlled by State laws.  But that is not true. Delegates to such a convention are the Sovereign Representatives of The People and have the inherent sovereign power to throw off our *Form of
government* and institute a new Form of government (Declaration of Independence, 2nd para).
 
Our *Form of Government* is our Constitution of 1787 - it is our 2nd Constitution.
 
Our 1st Constitution was the Articles of Confederation.
 
How did we get from our 1st Constitution to our 2nd Constitution?
 
There was a convention to propose amendments to our 1st Constitution.
 
The result of that convention was a new Constitution with a new method of ratification.  Whereas all 13 of the States had to approve amendments to our 1st Constitution; Article VII of the 2nd Constitution provided that it would be ratified by only 9 States.
 
PEOPLE!  You better open your eyes.  Or you will wake up one day and find that a 3rd Constitution has been imposed - and you will not like it.
 
This short paper shows why Delegates to an Article V convention cannot be controlled by State Laws:
 
 
 
There is a safe way to smack down the federal government:  LEARN and ENFORCE the Constitution of 1787 we already have!  We have been ignoring it for 100 years:  *THAT* is the problem.

If states would use their 10th Amendment authority, they could nullify all unconstitutional federal laws. State legislatures are being bribed by the federal government with grants to states.  These bribes are as large as the state budgets and legislatures are used to receiving them.  Consequently, they don’t exercise their 10th Amendment rights to reduce federal involvement to their enumerated powers” granted by states to the federal in the US Constitution (as written).
Also, a Republican House and Senate could pass a balanced budget amendment, send it to the states for ratification and then send it to the Whitehouse in 2017. That would eliminate the excuse for taking the risk of allowing an Article V Convention. Our American communist politicians have the “Newstates Constitution” ready to implement and you won’t like it.

We already have 25 hapless states who have signed up for this Article V convention scam. If another 8 states sign up, we will have 33 of 50 or the 2/3s required for George Soros to have his Article V convention and we’re screwed. This is being pushed by all communist organizations plus some hapless Republicans, who don’t understand the danger. It is just another alternate strategy to secure UN domination over the US outlined in UN Agenda 21.
