Our Founding Fathers put a clause in the Constitution, called a Constitutional Convention, that allows states to change or even scrap the entire Constitution if the needed to fight federal tyranny.
Michigan just joined the list of states calling for a Constitutional Convention, bring the total number of states to 34.
This means that 68% of the states are in agreement – so we now have the required 2/3 majority to make this happen!
Whatever our states do in the convention is law – Congress and the rest of the federal government can do nothing about it.
Of course, tyrants don’t give up so easily, so it will be interesting to see what goes down when the states hold their convention.
Will we overturn all the unconstitutional measures the federal government has imposed and reclaim our country, or will a civil war be made imminent?
What if we told you there was a “back door” put in the Constitution by our Forefathers that allows the states to change, amend, and even scrap the Constitution if they chose to do so? What if I told you that they are already under way to change the Constitution with an Amendment? Why is the media silent?
When the Forefathers of the United States built the Constitution, they knew there may be a time that the government could get too corrupt and the states would have to go around them to fix the issue. They put in a clause where if 2/3 of the states would agree to convene the Constitutional Convention, it would take place. That Constitutional Congress, not the Congress we normally complain about, would have every right to change, amend, or even scrap the Constitution if they so saw fit.
Michigan just made state 34 out of 50 to call the Constitutional Convention into play. That means that 68% of the states are in agreement. That means they have two thirds of the states ready for action. This may well trigger the other states into signing. Three more and even the US Congress could not stop it.
This is massively huge news, but yet the media remains silent on news that they may override the Congress of the United States and force them to accept something they continue to vote down.
From TRN:
The most important political development in 200 years was triggered last week, when the state legislature of Michigan became the 34 th state to demand a “Constitutional Convention” in the United States. Under Article 5 of the US Constitution, if 2/3rds of the states call for such a convention, (meaning 34 states) it MUST take place. During such a convention, the ENTIRE Constitution can be changed; nothing is off-limits. This would even allow the States to dismantle the federal government without its consent, and repudiate the debt which that government has incurred! When it voted for the convention last week, Michigan became the 34 th state, thus meeting the requirement.
A goal has been reached behind what would be an unprecedented effort to amend the U.S. Constitution, through a little-known provision that gives states rather than Congress the power to initiate changes. This is the most significant political development in the entire world in the last 200 years. ~Political Ears
A political blog on the Fox news page seems to be the only mainstream source.
Michigan matters, because by some counts it was the 34th state to do so. That makes two-thirds.
In the wake of the vote, California Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter pressed House Speaker John Boehner on Tuesday to determine whether the states just crossed the threshold for this kind of convention. Like Michigan lawmakers, Hunter’s interest in the matter stems from a desire to push a balanced-budget amendment — something that could potentially be done at a constitutional convention.
“Based on several reports and opinions, Michigan might be the 34th state to issue such a call and therefore presents the constitutionally-required number of states to begin the process of achieving a balanced budget amendment,” Hunter wrote.
“With the recent decision by Michigan lawmakers, it is important that the House – and those of us who support a balanced budget amendment — determine whether the necessary number of states have acted and the appropriate role of Congress should this be the case.”
If two-thirds of the states indeed have applied, the ball is presumably in Congress’ court to call the convention.
But Article V is rather vague, and it’s ultimately unclear whether 34 states have technically applied. In the past, states like Oregon, Utah and Arizona have quietly voted to approve the provision in their legislature.
But some of the 34 or so have rescinded their requests. Others have rescinded, and then re-applied.
Alabama rescinded its request in 1988 but in 2011, lawmakers again applied for a convention related to an amendment requiring that the federal budget be balanced. It was a similar story in Florida in 2010.
Louisiana rescinded in 1990 but lawmakers have tried several times, unsuccessfully, to reinstate the application since then.
It’s unclear whether the applications still count in these scenarios.
Some constitutional scholars like Gregory Watson, an analyst in Texas, say once states ask, there may be no take-backs.
“There is a disagreement among scholars as to whether a state that has approved an application may later rescind that application,” Watson told The Washington Times. “If it is ultimately adjudicated that a state may not rescind a prior application, then Ohio’s 2013 application for a Balanced Budget Amendment convention would be the 33rd and Michigan’s 2014 application would be the 34th on that topic.” ~Fox
This is huge. It could force the Congress of the United States to live by a balanced budget amendment. If the amendment passes Congress, the President would have to balance the budget of the United States and start paying off the debt. No more borrowing from other countries or Social Security, live within your means. But yet no one is talking about this.
Hope that they can agree quick enough to stop the liberals from declaring the constitution to be a set of guidelines and establishing a progressive tyranny.
GET IT DONE
LOL RGO
Exactly my thoughts… if they do this couldn’t they also put any law into effect they wish? This would make the majority of congress significantly less than what it is now so logically it would be easier than it currently is to pass laws. Not to mention they ARE politicians lol. What would be the difference here? If its just for the balanced budget amendment then yea im all for it but we need more change than that in our government for the nation to be “saved”
LET’S GET OBAMA AND COMPANY OUT-NOW!!!!
Wether this is even true or not, its not gonna change much… as long as politicians get paid as well as they do and receive “donations” from corporations we will never again see a government for the people. Not to mention the sheer lack of education of the general public which is what allowed federal government to become what it has today.
There was a time when there was a lot of unused land in America that was not owned by anyone. The cattle ranchers used that land to graze their cows. The BLM was created to ‘manage’ this land…technically it was part of the United States because our government bought the Louisiana Purchase. Citizens were free to homestead the Louisiana Purchase land and gain ownership of it.The Federal Government did not own any land except that which the capital buildings sat on…..the Americans didn’t want a King or Socialism so they limited the Federal Government. THAT IS NO LONGER HOW IT IS! THE GOVERNMENT IS NOW MAKING THE PLAY TO TAKE OVER ALL PROPERTY AND ALL RESOURCES so the individual is at its mercy and HAS to do as they are told. Obamacare is the way the Federal Government will redistribute the wealth of America to the Government.What can we do about it? NOTHING! IT’S A DONE DEAL BECAUSE THEY HAVE SPENT THE LAST 50 YEARS BRAINWASHING THE CHILDREN TO BELIEVE WHAT THEY NEED THE POPULATION TO BELIEVE. The least Americans can do is KNOW what is happening! Have you heard of Agenda 21? Long ago the Federal Government “took” land and designated it Federal property supposedly that they could protect it and manage it for future use for Americans.(Federal NATIONAL PARKS, Preserves and “National Treasures” and BLM land) Well, now their real agenda comes out. They are going to restrict Americans to cities and creat wilderness zones (most of all America) where NO MAN’S FOOTSTEPS WILL EVER WALK. (Of course, that doesn’t include restricting the rich and elite) Google Agenda 21 if you don’t believe me. Don’t ask for whom the bell tolls–it tolls for thee! America better stand with the Bundy rancher against the elitists STEALING what belongs to Americans or start learning Arabic!
The attack on Mr. Bundy was my turning point! I have not liked the BLM since I learned about their kill tactics of the Wild Horse. Then I learned that they have NO one to control them and they can make laws and change boundaries at will and there is no (current) way to stop them! Then there is the censuring of the media and dumbing down of information through the news – Hell it is not news and those watching that media are being brainwashed! Then there is the opening up of the borders – we cannot even employ our own. What about sending all of our jobs over . . .???? What about ruining our water with gas from tracking???? What about shutting down our coal ??? What about telling American industry to clean up its air to the point that the few remaining corps go out of business and all the while allowing and paying / buying Chinese where labor is cheap and people are undervalued and the air is so dirty they cannot breathe? I could go on, but I am sure most would see, things MUST change!
Can they be trusted or will become a communist country.
What happens if the powers that control the WH, the Congress, the Senate, the States, the media, community organizations, charities, etc…end up running the convention????? has anybody thought about that…do you think that those powers are just sitting by and waiting for the reign to end??? They are the ones behind setting this Convention up so they can make it lawful to abandon the US Constitution and become the UN State…and they came claim that is what the people wanted…..
This is very bad. Anything especially those who are bought and paid for can and will put ‘Clauses’ all over the place to get their way! Didn’t “You must pass the bill before you can see what it is” scare anyone enough?! What if the Bill stated to put a certain income to the Gallows or Gas chambers?? The Constitution is fine the way it is! It just shows how Godless people are. Without God and his Laws how can we really go out there and say what is good or what is evil?? Tell me where else these things come from then?????
