Convention of States Suicide


Congress will order an Article V Convention of States if 34 States request one. None of the Amendments we’ve passed to date have used this method.  Instead, Congress has written and passed Amendments and sent them to the States for ratification.  Many Amendments die using this process and rightly so.

12 States have passed Resolutions to petition Congress to call for a Convention of States to force Congress to “balance the federal budget”. But I can’t imagine State Legislatures doing this without realizing that the federal government might well cut grants to States. Other States have included “term limits”, but none have suggested that we restrict political campaign contributions to “voters only” and that would surely remove corruption from government.

In just the last five years, the Convention of States resolution has passed in 15 states: Georgia, Alaska, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Indiana, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arizona, North Dakota, Texas, Missouri, Arkansas, Utah, and Mississippi.

These States need to repeal these Resolutions and cancel their requests. This live grenade remains “filed” unless it is cancelled.

This Article V Convention would have the authority to scrap the US Constitution and replace it with the “Newstates of America Constitution”  



The politicians we would have voting in this Constitutional Convention are not as honest or wise as the original Founders and most are Communists bent on the destruction of the US. They represent the “Deep State” writ large.
