What the
Convention Lobby isn’t telling you about our Declaration of Independence
Article 5
provides two ways to amend our Constitution: Congress (1) proposes amendments
and sends them to the States for ratification (this was done with our existing
27 Amendments); or (2) calls a convention for proposing amendments if 2/3 of
the State Legislatures apply for it.
We’ve
never had a convention under Article V - they are dangerous! But today, various factions are lobbying
State Legislators to ask Congress to call an Article V convention. They use
various "hooks" - proposed amendments which sound so nice, such as
“term limits”, a “balanced budget amendment”, “getting money out of politics”,
or “limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government” - but it is
bait designed to appeal to specific groups of people to get them to support an
Article V convention.
The
phrase within Article V, “a Convention for proposing Amendments”, doesn’t
restrict the Delegates to the Convention to merely proposing Amendments. Our
Declaration of Independence recognizes that a People have the “self-evident
Right” to throw off their government and set up a new government.1 We’ve
already invoked that Right twice: In 1776 we invoked it to throw off the
British Monarchy; and in 1787, James Madison invoked it to throw off our first
Constitution, the Articles of Confederation, and set up a new Constitution [the
one we now have] which created a new government.
This is
what happened: There were defects in the Articles of Confederation, so on Feb.
21, 1787 [link], the Continental Congress called a convention to be held in
Philadelphia “for the sole and express purpose of revising the Articles of
Confederation” But the Delegates ignored their instructions from Congress and
similar instructions from the States and wrote a new Constitution which created
a new Form of government. Furthermore, the new Constitution had its own new
mode of ratification: Whereas amendments to the Articles of Confederation had
to be approved by the Continental Congress and all of the then 13 States; the
new Constitution provided at Article VII thereof, that it would be ratified
when only 9 States approved it. And in Federalist No. 40 (15th para), James
Madison, who was a Delegate to the Federal “amendments” Convention of 1787,
invoked that same Right as justification for the Delegates’ ignoring their
instructions and writing a new Constitution which created a new government.
If we
have a convention today, the Delegates will have that same power to get rid of
our second Constitution and impose a third Constitution. New Constitutions are
already prepared or in the works! One of them, the Constitution for the
Newstates of America [link], is ratified by a national referendum (See Art.
XII, §1). The States are dissolved and replaced by regional governments under
the new national government.
So why
was the convention method added to Article V? The Anti-federalists wanted it
added because they wanted another convention so they could get rid of the
Constitution just drafted [link]. And James Madison and Alexander Hamilton
wanted the Anti-federalists at the convention to sign the proposed
Constitution.
They also
understood that a people have the right to meet in convention and draft a new
constitution whether the convention method were in Article V or not. So Madison
and Hamilton went along with adding the convention method to Article V; but, as
early as April 1788, they and our future first Supreme Court Chief Justice John
Jay started warning against another convention [link].
What’s
the real agenda of those (primarily George Soros and the Kochs) who are
financing the push for a convention? A convention provides the opportunity to
replace our existing Constitution with a new constitution which moves us into a
completely new system of government, such as the North American Union (NAU).
Under the NAU, Canada, the United States, and Mexico are politically integrated
and a Parliament and combined militarized police force are set up over
them.
This
fight isn’t between Republicans & Democrats - between Conservatives &
Liberals. This fight is between the Globalists and those of us who want to
maintain our existing Constitution and national sovereignty. Of the 4 US
Supreme Court Justices who opposed another convention, two were Liberals and
two were Conservatives [link]. So please don’t pass any more applications for
an Article V convention; and please rescind the applications your State has
already passed.
Endnotes:
1 The Declaration of Independence is the fundamental Act of Our Founding and is
part of the “Organic Law” of our Land [link]. 2 The States’ instructions to the
Delegates are summarized here. 3 See ART. 13 of the Articles of Confederation
[link]. 4 In Federalist No. 40 (15th para), James Madison says the Delegates
knew that reform such as was set forth in the new Constitution was necessary for
our peace and prosperity. They knew that sometimes great and momentous changes
in established governments are necessary – and a rigid adherence to the old
government takes away the “transcendent and precious right” of a people to
"abolish or alter their governments as to them shall seem most likely to
effect their safety and happiness," … “and it is therefore essential that
such changes be instituted by some INFORMAL AND UNAUTHORIZED PROPOSITIONS, made
by some patriotic and respectable citizen or number of citizens…” [capitals are
Madison’s]. 5 For the Love of God, your Country and your posterity, READ the
Council on Foreign Relations’ Task Force Report on the NAU [link]. This is what
the Establishment Elite want and can get with a convention! Contact Joanna
