Chapter one to Mark's new book is available for free at his site http://www.marklevinshow.com/

Click on his book and scroll down about a third of the way.

BTW, he has been an activist since nineteen years of age, when he got elected to a school board seat. He's been twisting statist tails ever since.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Opens a convention none-the-less and once it's open ....

It's a bunch of individual state conventions convened with the sole, constitutional, purpose of proposing amendments to the Constitution.

I'm unable to imagine a scenario in which these conventions could be hijacked in a manner that would result in the supplanting of the current Constitution.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Many here are missing a basic point: The convention cannot modify the Constitution. It can only propose amendments. Any amendment proposed still must be ratified. No left-wing progressive rewrite would ever be ratified.

Yes. Ratification of the amendments requires three-quarters of the states.

This can't be repeated enough. We'll face enough resistance from the bad guys. We don't need a circular firing squad on our side.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Bottom line: The progressive institutions and people who drove our once republic into the dirt, and profit very well from it, have no interest in republican restoration. It is a waste of time to focus all our attention to DC. Much more of our efforts should be directed at state assemblymen and senators. Send them Mark's book and explain how the salvation of the grand experiment called America is in their hands.

Amen.

We forget that progressive legislators and judges have been re-writing the Constitution for the last 100 years. It's time that we brought the subject out into the open.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

What about a ‘property rights’ amendment? Do you think that people in Blue States like Kelo? I have faith in most people to have at least that much sense.

I think blue-staters will go for congressional term limits as well.

That will get the ball rolling.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Section 1:
All classrooms and all court rooms must reverently mount a copy of the Ten Commandments and the Golden Rule near their front doors....

This is more suited to statutory law. Amendments deal more with basic principles.

Do we, or do we NOT have a malignant cancer in our nation?

I love your metaphor.. but radical surgery was needed 10/15 years ago.. maybe 20/30..

The Pox is upon us.. the flock(herd) is diseased.. culling is mandatory..
Whats needed is not a scalpel but a meat ax..

Failure to admit this (by cowards) will cost the entire HERD...
It is not just Obama but ALL the people brought into gov’t from the time of the Clintoon’s... ALL OF THEM..
YES; that includes Bush too.. including the stealth progressive Rove.. and even Gingrich..

Newt brags that he is a progressive.. the flock is diseased..
Ron Paul “the Barbarian”(i.e.Conan) might buy some time.. BUT..
America way too brain washed for Ron.. its not cancer BUT the POX..

You kinda “have it” but lack the correct diagnosis..
It’s THE POX.. grasshopper.. not cancer.. need different tactics..

I’ll consider looking into his latest payoff from whatever think tank bought by the pallet as soon as this constitutional “scholar,” lover of liberty and enemy of statists stops claiming the mantle of all those things long enough to apologize and admit he was totally and completely wrong for shilling for the patriot act, homeland security, TSA and all of the other crap that he mocked people for settling off warning bells about. Funny how his tune changes to whip up the rubes when the people holding his leash don’t have their guy in the white house. He’s a well paid fraud.

You are right that there are many Ruling Class culprits that need weeding. Sure, we weed out those who are vulnerable. And the weeding will get easier when they openly oppose Levin’s ideas.

Men no longer worried about elections, such as Rove and Bush, will be rendered irrelevant if the Convention is a success.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

It’s law that had such things taken down. To reverse such a law, we need an amendment. It sets the tone. Let’s see who opposes it.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

“I think blue-staters will go for congressional term limits as well.”

Right on!
