Earlier, he suggested that the Congress propose a Constitutional Amendment to repeal the 16th Amendment. A noble and certainly laudable goal, to be sure, but to expect that this could be accomplished in the Congress of the United States is worse than silly, it is a dangerous sidetrack.

In another location he states “..the Convention of States project comes to the people’s rescue and suggests they forgo rising up and demanding an adherence to their written Constitution...”

This is a truly mind boggling distortion of reality, which is that the Convention of States project exists for only one purpose: to assist and facilitate the rising up of the people as an effective force not only to demand, but to ENFORCE an adherence to our written Constitution.

How clever of you to take my words out of their original context and write: In another location he states “..the Convention of States project comes to the people’s rescue and suggests they forgo rising up and demanding an adherence to their written Constitution...”

This is a truly mind boggling distortion of reality, which is that the Convention of States project exists for only one purpose: to assist and facilitate the rising up of the people as an effective force not only to demand, but to ENFORCE an adherence to our written Constitution.

Now, here is what I actually wrote in full context.

And to curb this assault upon the People’s constitutionally limited system of government, the Convention of States project comes to the people’s rescue and suggests they forgo rising up and demanding an adherence to their written Constitution. The Convention of States project’s solution is to take the people out of the equation and find their remedy in our corrupted state governments, our tyrannical Supreme Court and a despotic Congress. Are these not the actors who would be in total charge of a convention should one be called? Would calling a convention under Article V not give them the “legal opportunity” to make constitutional the tyranny which is now rained down upon the people?

They are not “liberals”. They are conniving Marxist parasites who use the cloak of government force to steal the wealth which wage earners, business and investors have worked to create
