If all we did was get true compliance with the one we have, we'd 'win' on all the other issues.

How would you propose we do that?

I don't have a high-likelihood proposal for that. I wish I knew how to get the country back to the actual written Constitution we already have. My point was that adding more language to a document that is essentially being ignored is not a solution either. And it carries with it the risk that we'd end up compromising whatever portion of the Constitution still remains effective despite the statists wishes.

Ultimately, "We, the People," need to take back our government. So my solution is grass roots activism like the TEA Party to run candidates who pay more than lip service to the Constitution. We did it with Ted Cruz here in Texas.

Some of the Constitution is being ignored, but not all of it. The parts that are still strong are the more simple, structural parts. So far, for instance, 0bama is not ignoring his term limit.

The idea is to restore state sovereignty with structural changes that are hard to ignore such as term limits for Congress and the Supreme Court, repeal of the 17th Amendment, a State Repeal Amendment, etc., not things like a restatement of the commerce clause that could easily be "reinterpreted".

I urge you to read Mark Levin's book.
